CORBETTS CROSS won a Cork bumper and made Landrake pull out the stops in a Clonmel maiden on his hurdling bow. The winner has gone in again so Eugene O'Sullivan's charge can get back on the winning trail. Willie Mullins has a trio of entries with Seabank Bistro possibly the best of them. A very good fourth in the Festival bumper at Cheltenham, he then flopped at Punchestown but will be better for his hurdling bow behind Monbeg Park on the same track. Haxo, another from the yard, looks a stayer in the making so should be suited by the trip. Franciscan Rock is another who should be suited by this likely test of stamina after a good run in a strong Cork maiden.
