Going - Good to soft-soft in places

  • Racing Post Racing Post Verdict

Willie Mullins has won this seven times, including five of the last ten, and last year's convincing winner ABSURDE (nap) earns the vote even with Paul Townend jumping ship to stablemate Kargese. He did it in stylish fashion 12 months ago and his classy Flat form firmly suggests he remains well treated despite an 8lb rise. Lark In The Mornin also impressed at last season's Festival (in the Fred Winter) and will be a major threat if tapping back into that promise. Kargese and McLaurey have potential off their current marks, while Dan Skelton has won four of the last nine runnings and the novice Valgrand is his sole representative. If the ground is no worse than good to soft, the front-runner Our Champ will be a very interesting each-way option at big odds.[Ben Hutton]

Distance Winner Spotlight
 10/3  11/4 10/3 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Runner-up in Grade 1 4yo hurdles here (C&D Triumph, heavy) and at Aintree (2m1f, soft) last spring before winning one at Punchestown (2m, soft); this headstrong sort was second at 2-5 on belated comeback in mares' Grade 2 at Ascot (1m7f, good) in January but may have needed the run; stable has an excellent record in this race and Paul Townend rides; could be on a good mark.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Convincing win in the Fred Winter 4yo Handicap here (2m, heavy) 12 months ago; hasn't threatened on either run since (May/December) but previous Festival form has to be respected and he could be well treated if rediscovering last March's promise; ran well on good to yielding on the Flat.

Course and Distance Winner Spotlight
 5/1  11/2 5/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Won this last March (heavy) on last hurdle outing; now 8lb higher and Paul Townend is on stablemate Kargese this time, but he travelled well 12 months ago and there's still mileage in his mark judged on his classy Flat form (close fifth in the Melbourne Cup in November when last seen); effective on any ground; can play another leading role.

 7/1  13/2 7/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Won maiden hurdle at Limerick (2m, yielding to soft) in December and followed up when favourite for warm handicap at Leopardstown (2m, soft) in February; has also shown promise on good to yielding; hit hard by the handicapper but this very lightly raced 6yo could have lots more left in the tank.

(77) Form: 111207 Age: 6 Weight: 10-10
Course Winner Spotlight
 8/1  17/2 15/2 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Easily made all in Grade 2 novice here in October (2m, good; has also won on soft); weakened when 11l second in 2m5f Grade 2 here next time; down the field since in his first two handicaps (2m1f/2m, good to soft) but a break may have helped this lightly raced 6yo and he's the sole representative of Dan Skelton, who has won four of the last nine runnings; not discounted.

 9/1  10/1 11/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December then easily made all in maiden at Punchestown (2m, heavy); back into a tough handicap today and jockey bookings suggest he's not his top yard's chief hope, but this 5yo showed strong form in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last June and he could have more to offer in this code.

(27) Form: 15-483 Age: 7 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 14/1  16/1 14/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Won Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) in December 2023 and beaten nearly 5l when third of four in Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton last month (1m7f, good to soft; clear one-two were fortunate to fill the same positions in Tuesday's Champion Hurdle); it was a creditable run from this fellow in the face of a tough task and he's a possible player in first-time cheekpieces.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  One of four for Willie Mullins; 6yo whose form has been mixed since he bolted up in big-field handicap at Punchestown festival (2m, yielding) last April; however, he ran well when a well-held second in the Irish Champion Hurdle (2m, soft) last month and has a chance if at the top of his game.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Improved form in these blinkers the last twice, easily winning a novice at Naas (2m, good to yielding) before a close second of 19 at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December, when back in a handicap and given a positive ride; this 5yo could continue to progress for his good trainer; a possible.

Course Winner Spotlight
 50/1  66/1 50/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Front-runner who isn't obviously well treated and has been soundly beaten the last twice, but he went off hard on the first occasion and soft ground may not have suited last time (when his usual tongue-tie was missing; it returns today); in good form previously on good/good to soft and has run really well on both previous visits here; there might not be much competition for the lead and he could make a bold bid at a big price if conditions suit.

 50/1 66/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  6yo who is well treated on last season's best form; he showed some spark at Newbury in December but hasn't been at the top of his game this term and was soundly beaten last time; others make greater appeal.
