A tremendous renewal of this fine €250,000 handicap chase. Willie Mullins and Henry de Bromhead both run five and Gordon Elliot runs four making it a devishly difficult race to assess, but HAYMOUNT is the suggestion wearing the first time tongue-tie, having appeared to be saved for this race after pulling up when strongly fancied 12 months ago. There are any amount of dangers, with Jury Duty, Koshari, and Calino D'Airy all capable of getting into the argument, while the likes of Saturnas, Peregrine Run and Clarcam are respected. The sole British raider, Drumcliff, is another who should be thereabouts in a fascinating contest.
