Verdict
Willie Mullins should have a stellar day and POTTERS POINT can round it all off with his first success. Although beaten when odds-on at Naas the winner, Tombstone, looks a very smart prospect and he can go one better. Archive wasn't far behind the useful Identity Thief at Fairyhouse in November and, with improvement almost guaranteed, it would be no shock if he were to come up trumps while Lip Service wears a hood after a reasonable debut here a fortnight ago. Heron Heights made a good impression with a point-to-point success at Afflane in November and looks a nice recruit to racing under Rules.
