Verdict

Gordon Elliott's Oak Park sets the standard but he has already had plenty chances and could be vulnerable again having proved costly to follow. Isotope won on the Flat recently and is likely to be much more streetwise compared to last summer's Galway hurdles run; while Fox Fearless, Bear Claws and Saucy Yeats all have scope for a challenge. SWELL TIME did some good late work when second on hurdles bow at Tipperary last month (form franked since by winner) and has gone close since on the level; he's likely to go very close with David Mullins taking over here.
