Verdict

Mohaayed represents a trainer that has won this three times in four years but his wind op will have to get him back on track if he's to prevail. The Betfair Hurdle form will be key with runner-up Ciel De Neige joined by Sir Valentine (fourth), Zanza (sixth) Oakley (seventh) and Stolen Silver (eighth) from that highly-competitive race – any of them can have a say. Aramon and Saint Roi are given votes of confidence by Townend and Geraghty respectively but YOU RAISED ME UP just missed out in a fiercely competitive Leopardstown handicap last time and, despite a sizable hike, could well improve significantly for a yard that had a winner here last year.
