Formscan By Donal Murphy - Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins have won the last four renewals of this race between them, and it'll come as a surprise if that trend doesn't continue. Elliott saddles both HIGHLAND CRYSTAL and Working Away, with the former unbeaten in two starts. Winning on debut by 14-lengths, she followed up in equally impressive style in a Listed contest at Newbury and suited by the race conditions here, she should prove hard to beat. Place De La Nation is the Mullins representative and the obvious danger. Fifth in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, she was workmanlike when justifying 1/5 favouritism at Thurles on her latest start. An expensive purchase after winning a point-to-point on debut, the aforementioned Working Away looks the best of the rest.
