Verdict

Having won both starts in bumpers, MR JACKMAN came up a head shy of the hat-trick on hurdles bow at Punchestown a month ago and with the winner advertising the form in no uncertain terms since, he's a strong fancy. Gibberwell also finished second on debut over obstacles and can chase the selection home.

  1. MR JACKMAN (IRE)
  2. GIBBERWELL (IRE)
  3. HARDWIRED (IRE)
