A big field but only a trio to concentrate on. Hamundarson has finished in a place in five of six starts over hurdles, all on testing ground, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him improve this campaign. Largy Debut easily won a point at Oldtown in February last year and wasn't beaten far in a Navan bumper the following month. He has a long absence to overcome but has changed yards and looks a nice staying prospect. MINELLA COCOONER, runner-up in a point a year ago, made a sparkling debut for Willie Mullins in a Kilbeggan bumper in June and looks the one to beat. The consistent Ardera Ru looks best of the remainder.
