Verdict

Willie Mullins has won the last two of these with long odds-on chances and KILLULTAGH VIC is taken to make a successful start over fences though he faces stiff opposition. The winner of the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, he then went to the Punchestown Festival for a Grade 1 and defied a last-flight blunder to beat a high-class field. A Sizing Network has been taking on useful performers since turning to chasing and the experience will stand him in good stead here though it's Rogue Trader who looks the biggest threat. Tom Taaffe's progressive hurdler needed the run on his comeback then chased home the top-class Douvan at Navan and has plenty of scope for improvement. The remainder are likely to need mishaps from the principals to get involved though Phil's Magic looks the type to do better.
