Verdict

A race that should come down to a straight shoot-out between the country's two leading stables. The Willie Mullins-yard produced the 108-rated Pleasure Dome to win this contest 12 months ago and here they have the 116-rated CASTLE NORTH ready to add to his win at this track at the end of May. Soldier At War is sure to be the biggest danger here with the improving five-year-old looking to get back to winning ways following a minor set-back at Roscommon recently. Generator City for Denis Hogan looks the best of the remaining contenders.
