POTTERS POINT, a bumper winner at Punchestown in early 2015, didn't quite do what was expected of him when tackling hurdles last term but meets nothing of any real calibre here and can start making up for lost time. Valgor Du Ronceray could prove the fly in the ointment as he was an impressive winner of a Thurles bumper in January of last year and his new handler will have him primed for his hurdling bow. Montana Belle finished runner-up in a Cheltenham bumper two years ago and her subsequent runs last season were in the championship events at Cheltenham and Punchestown.
