Verdict

CAMLANN reappeared after a long break to score on the Flat last summer and has been in excellent form over timber ever since, winning three times including in a tough handicap at Leopardstown last time when Another Rebel was behind. He looks the one to beat though Cadeau Du Bresil should ensure he doesn't have things his own way. Gordon Elliott's charge, a maiden winner in December, has run well in novice company subsequently and there should be more to come from the five-year-old. Crosshue Boy hadn't been in the best of form over hurdles before a better run on his debut over fences.
