Verdict

Officially rated 169 in his pomp for trainer-Willie Mullins, ARCTIC FIRE can still mix it with the best and remains on a handy mark here on second start for trainer Dennis Cullen. Winner of the Grade 1 Hattons Grace hurdle in November 2015 the nine-year-old should have enough to handle any potential challengers in this company. Guinness handicap hurdle fourth in the week at Galway, Dr Mikey, the Gordon Elliott-trained Flaxen Flare and Gangster can battle for the minors.
  1. Arctic Fire
