Bagber won three times on the Flat and the fact that he's joined Willie Mullins automatically puts him in the picture as this isn't the toughest start despite a big field. He should do best of the newcomers but experience can count here so PRINCETON PLAINS and Leah Claire look the pair to beat with the former getting the nod. Eddie Harty's charge showed greatly improved form from his hurdling debut to get within a length of O Fortuna on very testing ground at Punchestown last month and today's going should prove more to his liking. Leah Claire, a winner on the level at Leopardstown in October, ran well in that Punchestown event on ground much too heavy for her and with that under her belt can progress enough to get involved. Bobowen has been steadily improving but a bigger threat could prove to be Launchpad, a winner at Windsor in October and sure to be better for his debut for new connections here last month.
