Verdict

Willie Mullins has a tremendous record in this having won six of the last ten and DANEKING can follow suit despite being beaten in his last dozen starts. Still only six despite having his thirtieth start, he's been racing on ground too lively for him and is best judged on his close third in a Grade 3 at Aintree in April. Both Mount Colah and Jennies Jewel will be back over fences before long and should win races. The latter won on the Flat at Galway last month but jumped very stickily in a Listed race over hurdles at Punchestown last time and will need to do much better here. Sonny B is another chaser and hasn't been seen since April though he did win easily the last time he ran over hurdles.
