Verdict
Worthwhile form is thin on the ground here and in such circumstances going along with Willie Mullins in a bumper seems a sensible ploy. VAPIANO started favourite on debut at Naas but tired appreciably in the home straight. It wasn't a bad first effort, however, and this quicker ground should show him in a much better light. Rocky Flight also delivered a fair first run when prominent for a long way at Tramore and should also improve for the experience. Cliff Climber has decent point-to-point form in the book but has been absent for nearly a year, whilst Matty Bawn and Leave It To Sophie make most appeal of the newcomers on paper.
