Verdict

Willie Mullins has an impressive record in this event and now relies on Mt Leinster who was highly impressive on his debut before finding the much vaunted Malone Road too good last time. He could pay the Gordon Elliott horse a handsome compliment here, but METICULOUS looked a top-class prospect with a scintillating display on his debut and his trainer believes he is good enough to win on the Flat. Certainly he has speed to go with his stamina, and he looks well-equipped to land this en-route to better things.
