Verdict

Trainer Willie Mullins appears to have found an ideal opening for LORD ROYAL to make a winning debut over hurdles. The gelding was last seen finishing second of 10 on the Flat in France in May 2018 but is expected to be ready for hurdling introduction in this contest. The Charles Byrnes, Arctic Cosmos gelding One For Joe has been pleasing in a number of starts over hurdles and can compete for remaining prize money with the likes of Telmesomethinggirl for trained Henry De Bromhead and the Gordon Elliott-trained Fancy Foundations.
  1. Lord Royal
  2. One For Joe
  3. Telmesomethinggirl
