Verdict

CHART TOPPER was unable to reward support on his recent return/chasing debut here earlier in the month but with improvement on the cards, Willie Mullins' 7-y-o could well take some stopping back up in distance. He can get the better of Mint Boy, who returns from a 17-month absence but his yard is back amongst the winners. Will Do looks best of the rest.
