Verdict

A cracking renewal of this Grade 1 event and Willie Mullins' highly-promising LOVE ME TENDER is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride and extend his unbeaten run to four. Gordon Elliott's Skylight Hustle is feared most on the back of an impressive Fairyhouse victory, although Le Divin Enfant, Talk The Talk and Koktail Brut all have better days ahead of them and need factoring in too.
