Verdict
Willie Mullins saddles the top three in the weights, all winning hurdlers, and Call Me Bubbles may prove best of the trio after last month's victory at Galway. Aidan O'Brien won this last year so Agreement, who is making his handicap debut after sluicing through the Galway mud to land a maiden, looks a threat to all. Weather Watch has been in fine form for Jessica Harrington and has an easy victory over the track and trip to his credit but the verdict in a very tricky finale goes to FLAXEN FLARE. The Cheltenham Festival winner almost landed the lucrative Galway Hurdle before having a canter round Cork to land the odds and looks well treated on a mark of 85.
