Winning point-to-pointers Bulletproof, Lisrose and Sure Thyne are likely to do better in time but this shouldn't take much winning despite the big field. STAR NEUVILLE, another who won between the flags and also a bumper, was sent off a short-priced favourite on his hurdling bow at Naas but fluffed his lines and was well beaten. The experience should have done him good, however, and he can make amends over this much shorter trip. Willie Mullins saddles the newcomer Toostrong, a French-bred related to several winners, and the market should be watched to gauge whether he's ready for this test.
