This looks between the confirmed stamina of MIRACLE HOUSE and the potential of Pickapocketortwo. The former gets better the further he goes and his recent close third to Sligo at Cork suggests he may just be too strong for Willie Mullins' charge, who has landed a bumper over 2m2f but has yet to race beyond the minimum trip over hurdles. Dual point-to-point winner Share Wood has his first run over timber after a moderate debut over fences at Limerick while another winner between the flags, Its Ironic, who has also won a bumper, has shown nothing so far over hurdles.
