Verdict
Willie Mullins has won this 3 times in recent years, including with the very smart Jasmin de Vaux, and his point recruit LOVE SIGN D'AUNOU is the suggestion before any betting clues are known. Largy Star has tasted success in the pointing field recently and is second choice for last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. The selection's debuting stablemate Vienna Storm is another interesting contender.

VerdictShowed promise amidst inexperience when third of 19 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) on debut in November 2023 but has been off since and now switches to a bumper. The betting is perhaps the best guide given the length of absence.- 3. Largy StarJ: Mr D. G. LaveryT: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland

VerdictMahler gelding. Dam, modest 21f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdle winner/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Chris's Dream (by Mahler). It'll be very interesting to see how he compares in the betting to Love Sign d'Aunou.
