Verdict

A race that could be profitable to follow in the coming months with shock last time out winner Discorama looking to progress from his 66/1 win, while Sandsend is sure to have his supporters on debut for trainer-Willie Mullins with Istabraq hurdle third and possible improver Ex Patriot the biggest danger to the selection DESTIN D'AJONIC who is coming off an impressive 10L win at Auteuil in October.
