Verdict
Shake The Bucket hasn’t won over jumps since landing this race in 2016 though went close over fences last time. Golden Poet has been beaten since winning at Kilbeggan and sports first-time blinkers while Ange D'or Javilex has his first start since 2016 and debuts for Gordon Elliott’s yard. Mysloegin won a maiden hurdle at Wexford recently and Dixie Highway went close at Gowran last month but VIKING HOARD came good with a convincing success at Killarney last time and is fancied to defy a rise in the weights in this.
