Domination has got his act together over timber and the four-year-old should make a bold bid getting weight from his elders, despite failing to land the odds at Sligo last month. This longer trip could suit Willie Mullins' Punchestown fourth Inspector Clouseau, while Blackwell Synergy won a Tipperary maiden hurdle on his racecourse debut and is open to improvement. Benash should go close if fully wound-up following a short break but FUSCHIA BELLE, who was a decent performer in bumpers, displayed her battling qualities in rallying to beat Phoenix Rose at Limerick on her hurdling bow. Jessica Harrington's mare will have learned from that and can follow up in this better grade.
