Some smart young hurdlers here and GAILLARD DU MESNIL just gets the nod after a fine run behind Holymacapony on his debut for Willie Mullins at Punchestown where Takarengo was a long way behind in third. Great Bear couldn't handle Magic Tricks at Navan but that was no disgrace while Gaspard Du Seuil didn't look suited by front-running at Wexford after a very good run at Punchestown. Barney Stinson was well beaten into third behind a couple of useful performers at Cork though the main threat may come from Indigo Breeze, who was headed close home by the promising Keskonrisk at Fairyhouse last month.
