Willie Mullins won this a year ago with Uncle Junior and should complete the double via GAGEWELL FLYER. A dual Grade 2 winner over timber last January, he's been mainly disappointing subsequently though he looked in need of the experience on his chasing debut at Thurles when runner-up to Shootin The Breeze. Better is expected of him and he should take this before going on to bigger things. Prince Of Forwards won a couple of times over hurdles and has the pedigree to do well over the bigger obstacles and Puntabrook arrives in good form having scored between the flags last month.
