Verdict
A massive field but only a couple with realistic chances. Found A Fifty went for £180,000 after landing a point at Boulta and was returning from a year off when runner-up in a Navan bumper in November. He'll be much better over hurdles and looks the only threat to HUNTERS YARN. The latter, three-times a winning bumper, started odds-on over timber at Punchestown in November but pulled very hard throughout and had to give best on the run-in though was only beaten a length. Tophill Low finished eleven lengths behind though looks certain to improve but Henry De Bromhead's newcomer Glenmalure Flyer has a chaser's pedigree.
