Verdict

Tough task deciding which of the three Willie Mullins contenders will take a step forward here. Preference is for the 131-rated PLEASURE DOME who won a Sligo hurdle on handicap debut in good style last month. The mares previous two races have produced 25% and 18% worth of winners and the Makfi mare can enhance her burgeoning reputation here under Paul Townend. Calie Du Mesnil and Chambord Du Lys are not easily dismissed but both require plenty of improvement here. The booking of Barry Geraghty on Awayinthewest needs noting and is not far behind the selection on ratings.
  1. Pleasure Dome
  2. Calie Du Mesnil
  3. Awayinthewest
