Willie Mullins had a very powerful entry at the five-day stage and relies on Bellow Mome. He won twice on heavy going earlier this year before finding the ground too quick at Sandown and is bred for chasing. Jimmy Two Times has won three times over hurdles but could be even better over fences judging by his close second to Woodford Island at Fairyhouse where he attempted to make all. The ground could have been a bit quick for him so today's conditions are in his favour. That winner is trained by Gordon Elliott who has GENERAL PRINCIPLE engaged here. A winning point-to-pointer, bumper and hurdler, he made a very encouraging debut over fences in what looked a strong contest at Naas despite looking in need of the run and looks a nice prospect. Damut, who completed a four-timer over timber last year, has found the minimum trip too short in his two starts over fences and should improve over the extra here.
