Ontheiflist and Torcello are penalised for their victories on the Flat and today's very testing conditions may not suit. MSASSA won't be inconvenienced by the conditions as he finished a close fourth in heavy going in France a year ago and can make a successful debut for Willie Mullins. Galtymore was in second place, though well held, when falling at Gowran but would have finished in front of Park Paddocks, who was well beaten. Achiever cost 260,000 euros and is by Galileo, though it's a big ask to make a hurdling debut in such conditions.
