Verdict
No Thanks paid his only visit here in this race a year ago and scored under Jody Townend so has to be respected. Patrick Mullins has been booked for National Ballet, who has been looking a few pounds high and could do with some rain, but JESSE EVANS ran a superb race to be beaten less than a length by Tudor City in the Galway Hurdle having been beaten a head on the Flat earlier. Stellium tries the trip for the first time having been going well over shorter while Takarengo ran his best race for a very long time at Leopardstown three weeks ago.
