Verdict
This doesn't look the toughest of bumpers despite a big field so Willie Mullins' French-bred CILAOS EMERY can make a successful debut. Nina Carberry's mount Art Of Supremacy will improve from her run at Fairyhouse as will Blair Cove, who finished just in front of her but Finula was beaten a distance when runner-up at Limerick. Jessica Harrington's horses are running well so Someday and Moone Dancer should be noted for support.
