In depth

Verdict

Calicojack looked a likely future winner when beaten a neck over this trip at Gowran but was then beaten 13 lengths when tackling 2m4f at Down Royal and flopped over that trip at Punchestown so has questions to answer. Fiveallin was well supported to make a winning start at Wexford on St Patrick's Day but couldn't quite go through with it on testing ground. Today's conditions plus the experience gained should see him in a different light. Castlebellingham looked a bit exposed at Fairyhouse but BREAKEN has the scope to go on to better things. Willie Mullins' recruit from France hasn't run since just beaten at Auteuil in June 2017 but the lack of a recent run is rarely a concern for one from his yard and he can start making up for lost time.
