Mick Winters does well with his ex-pointers and Vinnie Luck should be respected after beating a huge field at Dromahane last April. But the stable's Another Rebel is having his first start since landing a handicap hurdle at Killarney in 2013 so is best watched for now while dual winning hurdler Cappacurry Zak is another returning after a long absence and making his debut over fences. THEKINGOFCONNEMARA jumped well and stayed on stoutly behind the odds-on Altiepix at Fairyhouse and, though this may well prove on the short side in the future, the testing ground will bring out his stamina and he looks the one to be on. Pulled Mussel started out well in 2014 but looks to have gone backwards.
