In depth
Verdict
Mon Lino had a solid record over hurdles last season and is one of two previous course and distance winners in the line-up. Western Run is the other and he also goes on the shortlist while Alohamora has been in decent form on the Flat recently, though could do with dropping a few pounds. WILLIAM OF WYKEHAM made a promising return on the level at Gowran and won twice over hurdles last summer. He is probably still on a decent mark and will handle any further easing of conditions. Ballycastle Girl has switched stables but the four-year-old Druid's Altar is interesting having been highly tried since his win at Naas. Max Flamingo was an excellent fourth in a Grade B handicap at the Punchestown Festival after earlier wins at Leopardstown and Fairyhouse so can’t be ignored.
