Verdict

Willie Mullins won this with Blackstairmountain in 2012 and looks determined to take it again with two entries. LUCKY BRIDLE may prove the best of the pair as he's been competing at a much higher level and the promising David Mullins' 7lb claim is a bonus. Katie Walsh rides the other Mullins entry, Shamar, and her mount was carrying a huge weight when failing to cope with Blue Ridge Lane at Tramore recently. Orgilgo Bay has been in good form over hurdles since finishing second behind El Salvador here last month while the winner's trainer and jockey combination are represented by the consistent Marchese Marconi, who has been in excellent form but would probably prefer a longer trip.
