Verdict

Willie Mullins has a devilishly strong hand with three contenders, all having questions to answer, in the mix. The simplest solution is to trust the one in possession of the most talent and that is clearly 2017 JLT winner YORKHILL. He's been enigmatic since then but was showing positive signs last summer over hurdles in France. If the champion trainer has managed to find the solution to this puzzling character, he's got too much class to oppose. Stablemates Acapella Bourgeois and Polidam are be best placed to take advantage if he's not up to it, while St Stephens Green is one with potential for better things than he'd done to now.
  1. Yorkhill
