Verdict

This is for horses who haven't run under Rules though three of them, Casual Approach, Incitatum and Tuskar Island have finished runner-up between the flags. The former looks the best of them as he caught the eye with a very good run at Kilworth in November though this is likely to go to a newcomer with AN DEARG MOR fitting the bill. Willie Mullins has won this five times in the past eight years and the son of top jumps stallion Robin Des Champs out of a winning hurdler can make a successful debut. Liz Doyle's Golan Lodge is one to keep an eye on as he's out of a winning bumper while the mare Seven Wonders is a half-sister to four winners on the Flat in France.
