        Verdict

        Most of these would be better with a few flights of hurdles to jump and Willie Mullins complicates matters by saddling the unbeaten Digeanta, who scrambled home in a similar race at Leopardstown last month, and Midnight Oil, a dual winner on the Flat and over timber. FLAXEN FLARE scored twice for Andrew Balding and Gordon Elliott has done brilliantly with him, sending him to Cheltenham to land the Fred Winter in great style. Whether he'll handle this fast ground is another matter but he's given the vote over Marchese Marconi, whose two victories to date have been on heavy going. Klepht scored over fences at the Punchestown Festival and is unlikely to have the pace for this.
