Verdict
Willie Mullins has introduced some smart bumper horses in the past few weeks and MACDERMOTT has a superb pedigree for jumping. He'll need to be useful to see off No Time To Wait, placed behind the Mullins winner Ile Atlantique at Leopardstown, but Soldante ran poorly on heavy going at Limerick after showing potential at Galway earlier. Soldier Solid showed his liking for heavy ground when placed at Tramore, his first sign of ability.
