Verdict
Willie Mullins has two representatives here. Hybery, a very easy winner of a Pau bumper, returned after a year's absence at Limerick last month and attracted good support. He was beaten a long way but was reported to be coughing post-race. Stable companion Fils Spirituel has been a bit disappointing since arriving from France though looks certain to be suited by today's longer trip. Last Minute Man has run well enough in two starts over this trip though possibly needs even further. Noel Meade holds a strong hand with VILLAGE MYSTIC and Young Ted. The latter ran a cracking race in a 3m handicap at Punchestown back in May and won a bumper on heavy ground but it's the former, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, who gets the nod as he was returning from a very long break when running well over a trip too short at Naas a couple of weeks ago.
