Verdict

Smart hurdler KITZBUHEL can make a winning start over fences for Willie Mullins, who has won the last 2 runnings of this with Gaelic Warrior and Ballyburn. The forecast spot might be filled by Shuffle The Deck, who quickly developed into a useful hurdler last season and a point background provides hope that he can do at least as well over fences. The selection's stablemate Kaid d'Authie is next on the list.
