Verdict
Revolution won on the Flat in France and has shown promise in two runs for Jimmy Lambe. Hilden was only plating class on the Flat for William Muir but won a novelty event on his first start for Gordon Elliott at Fairyhouse on Saturday, which at least proves his fitness. Volt Sun has been highly tried but well beaten since arriving from France so everything points to this being another for Willie Mullins via RENNETI, who is penalised for winning a couple of minor races in France but has been found a good opportunity to make a winning debut over timber.
