Willie Mullins has won this twice in the past four years and Andiamos must be kept on the right side despite his moderate form to date as he looks one for the future. GOLANTILLA started a short-priced favourite when making his debut in a point-to-point at Avaune last month and supporters hardly had a moment's concern. He's a half-brother to a winning bumper so should have enough pace to make a winning start under Rules. Overbury Prince ran well over hurdles last time so it's a surprise to see him in a bumper but the main threat could be provided by the newcomer Unbreakable, an expensive son of King's Theatre, who is a half-brother to the useful Staying Article.
