River Run showed potential on the Flat in France before joining Willie Mullins for who he made his debut over hurdles at Punchestown just over a year ago following a very long absence. He looked in need of the run that day and was beaten a long way but much better is expected this campaign. FIGURATIVE has gradually made progress and though brushed aside by A Great View over the minimum trip last month there was the promise of more to come. Get Out Of Jail ran better than his finishing position suggests at Down Royal and his lone victory on the Flat was on very heavy ground. The ex-French Saphir De Somoza may do best of the remainder.
