Gordon Elliott won this twelve months ago and might do so once more with WODHOOH (2) who managed to take her hurdling record to six from six with a smooth course and distance success on her sole start this term. Form of that event has worked out well with the next three home winning notable prizes and she remains open to further progress. The most interesting contender is KOPECK DE MEE (8) making his handicap and stable debut for Willie Mullins after winning a Listed prize hurdling at Auteuil in France. NO ORDINARY JOE (3) did well when runner-up off 1lb higher in this event last season and cannot be ignored. First-time tongue-tie fitted. TAPONTHEGO (9) might feature with Mike O'Connor back on board revisiting the 2m4f journey.
