Formscan By Mark Nunan - Paul Townend has chosen to ride Soir De Garde and the refitting of a hood should help that one's chance, but preference is for the other Willie Mullins-trained runner BUNTING. Third in last year's Cesarewitch, he ran well in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle at Christmas and his latest run in the Coral Cup wasn't without merit either. He drops in class here and decent ground will suit. Riskaway has been outclassed in Grade 1 company on his last two starts but the form of his maiden win at Thurles is strong, while Quinta Do Lago was a creditable fifth in the Fred Winter and may improve for this longer trip.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards which have not won more than one hurdle race (excluding Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles) and have not finished first, second or third in a Grade 1 or Grade 2 weight-for-age hurdle race
Weights - 4-y-o 10st 12lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 6lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
Penalties - Penalty (Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles excluded) - Winner of a hurdle race 6lb extra
