Verdict
Willie Mullins had a very strong entry at the early stage and relies on KOSHARI, a winning hurdler in France and at Cork before suffering an injury on his reappearance last November. He looks to have been found an easy opportunity to make a successful chasing debut. Fire In His Eyes, a winning bumper and successful twice over timber, looked as though he needed further when making his chasing debut over this track and trip last month while Wishmoor, who has a similar profile, will be better for his debut over fences at Limerick though he didn't look a natural.
