Verdict
Authorized Art hasn't won since a successful debut for Willie Mullins at Punchestown in May 2019 but has been racing in better company over 3m. January Jets hasn't run over hurdles since October 2020 but had some smart form over fences that year. Barnacullia scored twice at Wexford in the autumn before a fine run in a Grade 3 at Navan but found 2m7f on heavy ground too much to handle in a Limerick Grade 2 in December. Priory Park completed a double when beating a big field of handicappers over 2m4f at Leopardstown then found 3m beyond him in a Grade B handicap on a return visit. Clondaw Hollow was in excellent form in late summer scoring here and at Perth but has an absence to overcome and PREVARICATE may have got in here lightly. Gordon Elliott's charge had been a bit disappointing before scoring at Leopardstown and that should have boosted his confidence.
