Verdict

Big things were predicted for ARVIKA LIGEONNIERE when he cantered all over a huge field over hurdles here in April 2010 but he hasn't been seen on the racetrack since. That's never a problem for one of Willie Mullins' team and he could be an exciting prospect over fences. Glibin has been going well over timber and makes her chasing debut though her pedigree suggests she may be better over shorter trips, but Tom Horn is bred for this game so his three victories over timber will be viewed as a bonus. Baby Whizz, three times a winner over hurdles, may prove best of the remainder.
