Pool Value: £776.88

Willie Mullins has won this seven times, including five of the last ten, and last year's convincing winner ABSURDE (nap) earns the vote even with Paul Townend jumping ship to stablemate Kargese. He did it in stylish fashion 12 months ago and his classy Flat form firmly suggests he remains well treated despite an 8lb rise. Lark In The Mornin also impressed at last season's Festival (in the Fred Winter) and will be a major threat if tapping back into that promise. Kargese and McLaurey have potential off their current marks, while Dan Skelton has won four of the last nine runnings and the novice Valgrand is his sole representative. If the ground is no worse than good to soft, the front-runner Our Champ will be a very interesting each-way option at big odds.[Ben Hutton]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	Banker	Any
1	Daddy Long Legs S F O'Keeffe / W P Mullins	6yrs / 12st 0lb 501352 Spotlight	150	12/1	Banker	Any
Daddy Long Legs One of four for Willie Mullins; 6yo whose form has been mixed since he bolted up in big-field handicap at Punchestown festival (2m, yielding) last April; however, he ran well when a well-held second in the Irish Champion Hurdle (2m, soft) last month and has a chance if at the top of his game.
2	Absurde D E Mullins / W P Mullins	7yrs / 11st 8lb 16P41- Spotlight	151	11/2	Banker	Any
Absurde Won this last March (heavy) on last hurdle outing; now 8lb higher and Paul Townend is on stablemate Kargese this time, but he travelled well 12 months ago and there's still mileage in his mark judged on his classy Flat form (close fifth in the Melbourne Cup in November when last seen); effective on any ground; can play another leading role.
3	Fils D'oudairies Danny Gilligan / G Elliott	10yrs / 11st 7lb 4-4P44 Spotlight	146	100/1	Banker	Any
Fils D'oudairies 10yo who won two Grade 3s in 2023; returned this season from an absence and there was some spark when fourth in a Grade 2 here on penultimate start, but he hasn't been showing enough to have appealing claims today.
4	Ethical Diamond Mr P W Mullins / W P Mullins	5yrs / 11st 5lb 060-01 Spotlight	147	14/1	Banker	Any
Ethical Diamond Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December then easily made all in maiden at Punchestown (2m, heavy); back into a tough handicap today and jockey bookings suggest he's not his top yard's chief hope, but this 5yo showed strong form in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last June and he could have more to offer in this code.
5	Pinot Gris K M Donoghue / G P Cromwell	5yrs / 11st 5lb 31-212 Spotlight	145	20/1	Banker	Any
Pinot Gris Improved form in these blinkers the last twice, easily winning a novice at Naas (2m, good to yielding) before a close second of 19 at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December when back in a handicap and making most; this 5yo could continue to progress for his good trainer; a possible.
6	Hansard N F Houlihan / G & J Moore	7yrs / 11st 4lb 15-483 Spotlight	156	12/1	Banker	Any
Hansard Won Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) in December 2023; beaten nearly 5l when third of four in the Grade 2 at Wincanton last month (1m7f, good to soft) from which the clear one-two were fortunate to fill the same positions in Tuesday's Champion Hurdle; it was a creditable run from this fellow in the face of a tough task and he's a possible player in first-time cheekpieces.
7	Kargese P Townend / W P Mullins	5yrs / 11st 3lb 122-12 Spotlight	150	3/1	Banker	Any
Kargese Runner-up in 4yo Grade 1 hurdles here (C&D Triumph, heavy) and at Aintree (2m1f, soft) last spring before winning one at Punchestown (2m, soft); this headstrong sort was second at 2-5 on belated comeback in mares' Grade 2 at Ascot (1m7f, good) in January but may have needed the run; stable has an excellent record in this race and Paul Townend rides; could be on a good mark.
8	Ndaawi J W Kennedy / G Elliott	5yrs / 11st 2lb 3136-2 Spotlight	147	28/1	Banker	Any
Ndaawi Creditable third to Lark In The Mornin in the Fred Winter 4yo Handicap here (2m, heavy) last March and 7l second of 19 in the Galway Hurdle (2m, good) in August; absent since heavy defeat on the Flat in the Cesarewitch in October but he's an each-way contender if back on song for this comeback.
9	Cracking Rhapsody Craig Nichol / Ewan Whillans	6yrs / 10st 13lb -40101 Spotlight	151	40/1	Banker	Any
Cracking Rhapsody Won the big-field Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago for the second year running and now chases a �100,000 bonus under a 5lb penalty; however, he loves Kelso and finished down the field in the Greatwood here in November on his sole run at Cheltenham.
10	Mclaurey M P Walsh / E Mullins	6yrs / 10st 12lb 0-2311 Spotlight	146	9/1	Banker	Any
Mclaurey Won maiden hurdle at Limerick (2m, yielding to soft) in December and followed up when favourite for warm handicap at Leopardstown (2m, soft) in February; has also shown promise on good to yielding; hit hard by the handicapper but this very lightly raced 6yo could have lots more left in the tank.
11	Our Champ Freddie Gordon / C Gordon	7yrs / 10st 11lb -61358 Spotlight	153	22/1	Banker	Any
Our Champ Front-runner who isn't obviously well treated and has been soundly beaten the last twice, but he went off hard on the first occasion and soft ground may not have suited last time (when his usual tongue-tie was missing; it returns today); in good form previously on good/good to soft and has run really well on both his visits here; there might not be much competition for the lead and he could make a bold bid at a big price if conditions suit.
12	Valgrand Harry Skelton / D Skelton	6yrs / 10st 10lb 111207 Spotlight	156	9/1	Banker	Any
Valgrand Easily made all in Grade 2 novice here in October (2m, good; has also won on soft); weakened when 11l second in 2m5f Grade 2 here next time; down the field since in his first two handicaps (2m1f/2m, good to soft) but a break may have helped this lightly raced 6yo and he's the sole representative of Dan Skelton, who has won four of the last nine runnings; not discounted.
13	Lark In The Mornin J J Slevin / J P O'Brien	5yrs / 10st 8lb 631-57 Spotlight	145	4/1	Banker	Any
Lark In The Mornin Convincing win in the Fred Winter 4yo Handicap here (2m, heavy) 12 months ago; hasn't threatened on either run since (May/December) but previous Festival form has to be respected and he could be well treated if rediscovering last March's promise; ran well on good to yielding on the Flat.
14	Irish Panther Cian Cullinan / E & P Harty	8yrs / 10st 4lb 3-2833 Spotlight	150	14/1	Banker	Any
Irish Panther 8yo who remains a maiden but is lightly raced and has run well when third in big fields at Leopardstown (2m, yielding/soft) this winter on his first two handicap starts; a tongue-tie is added; each-way claims once more.
15	Spirit D'aunou Freddie Mitchell / G & J Moore	6yrs / 10st 3lb 5-F643 Spotlight	160	50/1	Banker	Any
Spirit D'aunou 6yo who is well treated on last season's best form; he showed some spark at Newbury in December but hasn't been at the top of his game this term and was soundly beaten last time; others make greater appeal.
16	Norman Fletcher Sam Twiston-Davies / N A Twiston-Davies	6yrs / 10st 3lb -213P9 Spotlight	157	80/1	Banker	Any
Norman Fletcher Runner-up here (2m, good) in October then went one better in small field at Huntingdon (2m, good), before solid third at Doncaster (2m, good to soft); however, two lesser runs have followed; needs to raise his game.
