Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained KING PELLINOR looks an interesting hurdling recruit and can get off to the best possible start in this contest. The three-year-old has recently switched from owners from Smith/Tabor/Magnier and trainer Aidan O'Brien. Stablemate Ozone was a ready winner when last seen demolishing a 14 runner field over 1m4f on the AW at Dundalk earlier this month and can emerge as the biggest danger while the Charles Byrnes-trained Kendancer can make his presence felt on Irish debut. The more experienced Instant Return and Bajan Excell should not be underestimated.
