Patrick Mullins gets to ride Method Madness for a yard that do well in this sphere while Finny Maguire is on board the former Paul Nicholls inmate Flash De Touzaine, a very good third at Cork on his debut for Liz Doyle. Winning point-to-pointer For Talks Sake reverts to a bumper after debuting over hurdles at Punchestown in January while Mahlers Dollar found an extended 2m too short at Ballinrobe after a much better run over this trip at Gowran. MASON CITY made his debut under Rules at Tipperary where he chased home Breakeven. The third won a maiden hurdle by 13 lengths next time so Gordon Elliott's charge should go one better.
