This contest was run over 2m3f prior to 2017 and produced winners in Mikael D'haguenet and Sempre Medici for trainer Willie Mullins the only four-year-olds to taste success in the race since 2009. The six-year-old STORMY IRELAND will possibly try to make all to add to the trainers tally in this contest. The daughter of Motivator can land the spoils ahead of the returning Sutton Place who won this contest in 2017 for trainer Gordon Elliott. Off You Go the mount of jockey Barry Geraghty will relish a return to hurdling following a disappointing number of starts over the larger obstacles since November.
