Verdict

With the benefit of a previous run, DANCING SYMBOL is taken to land the finale. Runner-up at Wexford recently, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly should have learned plenty from the experience. On the bare from of that race, she looks the one to beat. Having sent out the winner of that aforementioned contest, Willie Mullins will know what it takes to beat the selection. Run For Fun represents the champion trainer here and is a half-brother to a winner over hurdles. Mid-division at Wexford last month, Orderly Conduct is capable of improving on that promising introduction.

Top Tip: Dancing Symbol (7)
Watch out for: Run For Fun (6)

DANCING SYMBOL can build on a promising debut runner up effort where she chased home a useful looking newcomer from a top yard. The longer trip should suit her and Orderly Conduct who rallied well having been outpaced on debut. That form has been franked so he looks a big player along with newcomer Run For Fun. His dam was a winner over hurdles in France on her first completed hurdle start and her yard should have a good idea on her chances given her stablemate defeated the selection last time.
