Verdict

Dunbrovic is a rare runner in this sphere for the all-powerful Willie Mullins and this looks another for the yard as he has been making gradual improvement and won comfortably at Tattersalls Farm last month. Harps Counsel has never won under Rules but came very close in a similar race over today's C&D in December. Some Run has been in very good form in points while General Maccreevy arrives in good shape having won at Taylorstown on Saturday. Mister Philson looks the main threat as he's been gradually progressing and beat the good yardstick Not Before Eight at Largy last month. Russian Regent was hurdling last summer but reverted to point-to-points at Tattersalls Farm last month and gained an impressive success.
