Verdict

Willie Mullins sent out last year's winner under a penalty and BOBARLEE (NAP) can follow suit after a smooth victory over a slightly longer trip in a bumper at Sligo. Pursecco also won a bumper last time, at Roscommon, and has already been placed here over hurdles. Wilms Warrior arguably has more scope than the aforementioned pair having had just two starts under Rules. She's won a point-to-point and a Kilbeggan bumper so is much respected but none of the others have so far shown enough to merit serious consideration.
