Verdict

Recent Cork scorer MUTADAFFEQ looks a horse on the up and he should absolutely relish quick conditions based on his Flat form so gets the vote for Champion Hurdle winning trainer Gavin Cromwell. Unexposed first-time handicapper Megalomaniac is an interesting contender for Henry De Bromhead and a sound alternative. Also considered is Castlehume although lack of a recent run relegates him to third best.
  1. Mutadaffeq
  2. Megalomaniac
  3. Castlehume
