Forecasts

Colcannon (5/2), Leader D'allier (3/1), Gameball (5/1), Nadia's Boy (6/1), Techno Davis (10/1), Ionian (10/1), Immediate Effect (14/1), Fort Dino (22/1), Beauvallon (28/1), Friary Road (40/1), Alwaysgoinhome (300/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins looks to hold all the aces in this opener. Preference is for NADIA'S BOY, who maintained his unbeaten record (including in a point) sent hurdling at Listowel back in September and with that form having been franked by the runner-up since, he can extend his winning sequence. Leader d'Allier needs to put a lesser effort behind him but he heads up the dangers, with Beauvallon and Colcannon taken to fight out minor honours.

  1. NADIA'S BOY (IRE)
  2. LEADER D'ALLIER (FR)
  3. BEAUVALLON (IRE)
