Verdict
This has been won by some smart performers including The Tullow Tank and Don Cossack. Au Quart De Tour and Livelovelaugh represent Willie Mullins and, though both were well beaten in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, this won't be such a strenuous test. Ice Cold Soul has a double penalty but the form of his latest victory at Limerick was boosted when the runner-up won subsequently. SPACE CADET, an impressive winner at Leopardstown on St Stevens Day, couldn't cope with Pylonthepressure at Naas in February but may have been taking on something special and can regain the winning thread.
