Verdict
Fils D'oudairies is weighted to beat CASH BACK but that was also the case at Cork last month when finishing behind Willie Mullins’ charge. The latter was runner-up on that occasion and gets the vote with stablemate Fighter Allen struggling for form. It’s been some time since Off You Go won but he went close to doing so at Down Royal back in August but Enfranchise has failed to figure over hurdles so far.
