Verdict
Winning bumper SEABANK BISTRO (NAP) has been a beaten odds-on favourite in his two starts over timber but Corbetts Cross, who outstayed him at Limerick, has subsequently won a Fairyhouse handicap so Willie Mullins' charge can go one better. He holds Franciscan Rock on that run but winning point-to-pointer Sam Magee did nothing wrong on his return from a long break at Down Royal last month and normal progress will see him in contention. Kansas City Star's narrow defeat by Ashroe Diamond on his hurdling debut here puts him in the frame and he was racing in Grade 1 company when pulled up in the Challow at Newbury. Present Soldier went for £300,000 after landing a point at Tattersalls Farm in November 2021 from a subsequent hurdles winner and has joined Henry De Bromhead.
