Forecasts

Daddy Long Legs (9/4), Down Memory Lane (5/2), Predators Gold (4/1), Caldwell Potter (6/1), The Big Doyen (11/1), Fascile Mode (14/1), Absurde (14/1), Smooth Tom (28/1), Westport Cove (40/1)

Verdict

DADDY LONG LEGS and Down Memory Lane are two very smart prospects and look set to fight out the finish. Choosing between them isn't at all easy but Willie Mullins has landed six of the last eight runnings of this and Daddy Long Legs, who is Paul Townend's pick of the yard's four runners, was a most impressive winner on his hurdles debut at Thurles and he is marginally preferred. Down Memory Lane's stablemate Caldwell Potter is third choice.

  1. DADDY LONG LEGS (FR)
  2. DOWN MEMORY LANE (IRE)
  3. CALDWELL POTTER (FR)
