Verdict

Former Galway Hurdle winner NDAAWI is the class act in the race. Rated 150 over hurdles, Gordon Elliott's charge comfortably won the Pat Smullen Cancer Trials Charity Race last time out at the Curragh under Nina Carberry, which should have put him spot-on for this assignment. Ocastle Des Mottes sets the chasing standard with a rating of 126 and he has an experience edge. Paul Townend's mount may need to improve to win, while Captain Ryan Matt should also make the frame.
