Verdict

FLAME BEARER looked a good pospect when forging clear of a big field at Fairyhouse last time and is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride. Willie Mullins' Ha D'Or also has better days ahead of him and rates a big threat with Hiaou also not taken lightly on the back of his taking Punchestown victory.

  1. FLAME BEARER (IRE)
  2. HA D'OR (FR)
  3. HIAOU (FR)
