This features two potentially useful newcomers. KALANISI STAR beat the useful Rare Edition in a point at Corbeagh House in December then beat subsequent winner hurdler Monbeg Park 16 lengths in a bumper on heavy ground here. He faces a stiff task attempting to concede the mare's allowance to Pink In The Park as Willie Mullins' dual bumper winner was narrowly beaten in three pattern-race bumpers earlier this year and could prove a star at this game. Gordon Elliott's yard is going so well that Blackwater is expected to make great strides from his bumper debut at Punchestown in February while the likes of Chosen Thyme and Secret Artist can make their presence felt without troubling the principals.
