Willie Mullins has won this three times in recent years and ARKWRISHT can follow suit. Placed twice when a short priced favourite in his first two bumper starts, he ran no sort of race at Punchestown in April but his pedigree is all about stamina and this should be a sufficient test. Winning bumper and pointer Jetstream Jack was beaten a long way into third on his hurdling debut last month but was staying on steadily over the minimum trip and this will be much more suitable. Sizing Alberta is another who did well in bumpers and should be winning races while Colin Bowe does very well with former point to pointers so Go It Alone is one to keep an eye on.
