Wide Receiver's close third in a Navan Grade 3 is the best form on view though he looks more of a staying type and will need to jump better here. Decimation was undone by a last-flight mistake when odds-on at Clonmel while Snake Oil makes his hurdling debut after an impressive bumper victory at Listowel. Willie Mullins has a strong hand here. M C Muldoon hasn't been seen since 2018 when racing for Peter Chapple-Hyam in the UK but he'll be fit enough and know his job though EL BARRA (NAP) is the more likely winner. Runner-up to the high-class Fury Road in a Dromahane point in May 2018, he made his bumper debut for new connections at Thurles last month where he looked very smart and jumping will be his game.
