Verdict

Winning point-to-pointer and bumper MOUNT BENBULBEN was expected to make a winning debut over hurdles at Galway but slipped up when travelling strongly at the second last. Compensation awaits here though this looks a tougher event with Serein likely to prove a tough challenger. Jessica Harrington's charge ran his best race to date behind Laganbank at Galway and looks certain to get involved. Tynaghs Trooper also ran well at Galway last time when runner-up to Leave Him Alone in very testing ground. Further rain would aid his cause while the likes of Gentle Paddy and Tynaghs Trooper should ensure the selection gets a test.
