Verdict

EXIT POLL has a bit of class about him so is taken to defy top weight after his decent second back in handicap company here on Boxing Day. Mt Leinster remains open to improvement as a chaser now handicapping so is bound to be popular for Willie Mullins, while Batcio wasn't disgraced in a better race than this at Fairyhouse last month.
