Willie Mullins has four entered here with EASY GAME probably the pick. His four victories over hurdles include at Grade 2 and Grade 3 races at Navan and though well beaten at Cheltenham he wasn't punished when his chance had gone. Harrie may do best of the champion trainer's other runners though he would be better with some rain. Gallant John Joe showed improved form to land a Listed contest at Naas, though that was when dropped to the minimum trip. Zero Ten, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, was also running over 2m when scoring very easily at Leopardstown last month so shouldn't be unduly concerned by today's extra.
