Verdict
KOPECK DE MEE really caught the eye when runner-up at Aintree last time and can go one better here and gain a first success since joining Willie Mullins. Maxxum holds very solid form credentials and is next on the list with Colonel Mustard, Eagle Fang and Feet of A Dancer in the picture too.
