Verdict
SIN PALO was only beaten a head by the useful Muirhead at Galway earlier this month. That signalled a return to form for Willie Mullins' eight-year-old and he's likely to start at short odds to recapture the winning thread here. Regal D'Estruval has only managed one win so far from 16 starts over the larger obstacles but wouldn't be far away on his best form as he's been quite highly tried. Berties Dream may just need this but is another with claims if back on song while Fernhurst Lad is better than he showed at Killarney last month and may be best of the rest ahead of the mare Annie Other.
