VERDICT: Willie Mullins has landed the last six renewals of this race and Horantzau D'airy has a decent shot at bringing the seven up. He was somewhat fortuitous to get off the mark on chasing debut at Leopardstown last month when the two horses in front of him both crashed out at the last fence. However, there should be plenty more to come from a horse who won once over flights in addition to being placed in three valuable handicap hurdles. Slight preference is for Hollow Games, though. These are much calmer waters for Gordon Elliott's 143-rated chaser. He hasn't been at his best in his last four outings, but his last piece of notable form saw him finish third in the Galway Plate. He should appreciate this company and the small field. Gaelic Arc is a fair horse in his own right, but is returning from a long absence.
