Verdict

DANI DONADONI was disappointing at Leopardstown 48 days ago but is in expert hands and is well worth another chance to confirm his Cork form. Ksar Fatal looked smart when winning a bumper for Willie Mullins and it will be interesting to see what he can do now hurdling. Panjandrum also has a bit to prove but was also good enough to win a bumper.

  1. DANI DONADONI (IRE)
  2. KSAR FATAL (FR)
  3. PANJANDRUM
