A much more competitive bumper than normal with Willie Mullins complicating matters by saddling both Bless N'ject and THEWESTHOWAYA with preference for the latter. A very impressive winner at LImerick on her debut, she undoubtedly has more to do in this company but gained many admirers that day and is likely to go on to better things. Golden Call made a winning Rules debut for Gordon Elliott and Nina Carberry at Tipperary but had to scramble to see off Clondaw Warrior and faces tough opposition here. Dingaling also has more to do than when narrowly beating Galzig at Killarney but is on the upgrade, though third-placed Dance The Devil was going on strongly at the finish and has a fair chance of reversing the form on the revised terms.
