Muyam Spirit's close second to Benefit Run at Thurles in November would put him in the picture, though he didn't run as well in later starts over fences. GET SMART (NAP) couldn't quite cope with In Your Shadow on just his second start over fences at Tipperary but the winner is now rated 121 after scoring at Galway and Mags Mullins' charge looks the one to beat. Thisonesforollie, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler, is 0-10 over fences and was beaten when falling at Tipperary last time but Belle West's one decent run in six starts over fences came over this trip at Sligo.
