Not a good race for favourite backers, with just one jolly obliging in the last 16 renewals.
*The Irish have a good record having saddled six winners in the last 16 runnings
*Six of the last 8 winners had won last time out.
*Ten of the last 11 winners have also been under the age of 8
*The MCR Hurdle at leopardstwon has been a good trial, and Willie Mullins' Call The Police (who finished second to stable companion Final Approach in this season's running) has been very heavily backed in the ante post markets.
