Apple's Jade (6/4), Bacardys (6/4), Penhill (5/1), Unowhatimeanharry (8/1), Killultagh Vic (14/1), Dommage Pour Toi (14/1), Arkwrisht (100/1)
APPLE'S JADE is unbeaten at Leopardstown and can turn the tables on old rival Bacardys now she's back over a more appropriate trip and has the added assistance of cheekpieces to help her focus on the task in hand. She's a tough individual and this test of stamina will suit her ideally. 2018 Stayers Hurdle winner (at Cheltenham) Penhill is a high-class individual and can also be expected to be a lot sharper now he's got the benefit of a recent run behind him; he too can give the selection a scare along the way. The veteran Unowhatimeanharry might still have a big race within him but is only suggested as the best of the rest ion this occasion.
