Formscan By Donal Murphy - Off a mark of 137, PLACE DE LA NATION is undoubtedly the one to beat, after finishing just four-lengths off the winner when fifth in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. The French bred bay now takes a significant step-up in trip, but as a half-sister to Irish National third Quai De Bourbon, she should relish the extra yardage. Jonathan Sweeney's Divaboriva is the obvious danger. Placed in a Grade 3 bumper, the Kingston Hill grey came up against the exciting Echoing Silence when second on her debut over flights at Cork, and had subsequent Navan winner Flashaway a few places behind. Point-to-point winners Holly Brook and Moonlight Paradise are likely to be battling it out for third.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs.
