Verdict

The contender here with the best form over hurdles is, by a very long way SATURNAS. It may be a slightly concern that the six-year-old has been off since performing poorly at Leopardstown in February, but with a Grade 1 win under his belt over the smaller obstacles it's impossible to ignore his claims and he can make a winning debut over fences here. Don't Let Go is lightly raced and was progressive over hurdles and is preferred next, ahead of recent C&D runner-up Light That.
  1. Saturnas
  2. Don't Let Go
  3. Light That
