Willie Mullins tends to dominate this race and the returning KARBAU can take the prize back to Closutton for the sixth time in the last 7 years. Glen Kiln arrives at the top of his game and may provide the chief threat ahead of Workahead, who can't have been right in the Supreme Novice at Cheltenham when last seen.

Karbau Willie Mullins has a tremendous record in this race, and I think Karbau can take advantage of a drop in class here.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Workahead might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Karbau usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
