Verdict

THE GUNNER YEATS wastes no time switching to hurdles after last month's bumper third and this point winner looks the way to go for the Willie Mullins team. Set Point wasn't unduly knocked about when sixth on his recent hurdle debut and can build on that and give the selection most to think about ahead of his returning stablemate Baltic Moon.

  1. THE GUNNER YEATS (IRE)
  2. SET POINT (IRE)
  3. BALTIC MOON (GER)
