Most of these are jumpers and Willie Mullins has won the last two with long odds-on chances. SAGLAWY, who won on the Flat in France, won't be as short as that but landed a Grade 2 over hurdles last year and could be good enough. Newcross has only run on the level, scoring over slightly further here in June, and looks certain to get competitive while Play The Game won over hurdles here in the same month. Rough Terain was sent to Worcester to make a winning bumper debut and can't have been right when beaten a distance in a similar race to this at Killarney.
