DANI CATALONIA won a bumper on heavy ground at Tramore last month and ran a nice race on the Flat at Roscommon subsequently. She'll have had plenty of schooling and can make a winning debut over hurdles for Willie Mullins. Park Ranger is probably the best of those with experience having started favourite when finishing third at Gowran in June but Prince Chaparral, a winner three times on the level, should be capable of finding a small race over timber and Truckin All Night only found Magic Spear too good at Killarney at the start of the month and has already won a bumper and a point-to-point. Joe Reed and Ohshikuru are also winners between the flags.
