Verdict

Willie Mullins has introduced some smart novices in recent weeks and ECLAT DES MOTTES could be another. Narrowly beaten in a French bumper in October, he has a cracking pedigree for jumping and can take advantage of the 10lb he receives from Present In Court, a winning point-to-pointer and very impressive in a bumper here last month. Turbo won a bumper here in May and made a fine start over timber over the course and distance but has disappointed subsequently. Sonowyouno will improve in time but hasn't shown much to date.
