oddschecker Verdict
Runner-up in this race last term, TALK IN THE PARK can go one better. A previous winner at this meeting over hurdles, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding is locally-owned and will almost certainly have been campaigned with this race in mind. Having acquired plenty of chasing experience since his agonising defeat last year, the eight-year-old should go very close. With an official rating of 126, the Willie Mullins-trained Ocastle Des Mottes sets the standard. Although pulled up when last seen, his previous form was strong enough for a race of this nature. Wexford runner-up Mickie Angel also has to be respected.
Prediction: 1st Talk In The Park, 2nd Ocastle Des Mottes, 3rd Mickie Angel
