Verdict

LIVIO made a positive return from a long absence when third on his Killarney hurdle debut last month and can enhance Willie Mullins' good recent record in this race. Gordon Elliott is another top trainer who is no stranger to success in this maiden hurdle and his bumper winner Lizzie Twig is feared most ahead of last month's Cork third Sestini. Navy Waters is good enough on the Flat to think she could make an impact if taking to hurdling.

  1. LIVIO (FR)
  2. LIZZIE TWIGG (IRE)
  3. SESTINI
