Verdict
Hybery, a very easy bumper winner in France, has been beaten a long way in all three starts for Willie Mullins but could improve over this trip. Multifactorial has also disappointed since winning a bumper but dual point-to-point winner West Cork Wildway landed a Tipperary bumper in May and made a promising start over hurdles behind the odds-on Aione at Gowran. EKLAT DE RIRE won a point at Dromahane in November and made a very encouraging debut over timber when staying on over 2m4f at Punchestown - normal progress will see him difficult to beat. Barangarou showed nothing before a much-improved run over 2m5f here where she was going on well at the finish.
