Verdict
Gordon Elliott won this last year with the smart Teahupoo and has two entries. Ebasari hasn't progressed from an opening victory and Iberique Du Seuil has twice finished a well-beaten runner-up to White Pepper, the latest over the track and trip. The latter went to Doncaster for a Listed contest last month but had no answer to Six Feet Apart, who was then outclassed in the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown. Her stable also run useful Flat performer Celestial Horizon, who ran into a smart one in Ha D'or here last month. That winner's yard has two entries, who both ran in the Spring Hurdle. ICARE ALLEN finished fifth after fading on the run-in and can again take care of Vadaly, who was outpaced from two out.
