Verdict
VILLAGE MYSTIC scored at Milborn St Andrews in February after which he was purchased by Gigginstown and sent to Willie Mullins. He'll know his job and can get off to a winning start. Black Warrior has been narrowly beaten in both starts at Limerick, the latest on heavy going, while Candlestick showed potential behind Gurteen here at Christmas and is certain to make progress. Jack Dillinger finished third in what looked a decent bumper at Punchestown early last month and looks the one to benefit if the selection doesn't come up to scratch.
