Verdict
Oisin Orr won this race last year on Quick Jack and it is no shock that Noel Meade has snapped him up to partner SNOW FALCON now. A convincing winner at Killarney over 1m6f last time, he has not escaped the handicapper's attention but his rider helps with that. A top-class hurdler, he doesn't have many miles under his belt in this sphere and could still ahead of his mark. This is a tough puzzle to solve and many have chances, with luck in running a must. The quirky Renneti brings Ruby Walsh for a rare Flat outing and while it won't be easy off top weight, the duo have the talent to be involved. Song Of Namibia comes here in good heart though requiring a career-best while British raider Machine Learner is greatly respected after some promising efforts this campaign. St Stephens Green is a potential improver while Sea The Lion should go well dropped in trip and Utah appeals most of the Ballydoyle duo.
