made all, clear from 4 out, unchallenged
chased leaders, went 2nd after 5th, kept on from 3 out, no chance with winner
Plenty of interest in Joe Cullen's British debut for Ian Williams. A top class hurdler for Willie Mullins in Ireland, he looked to have lost some of his enthusiasm for the game and as a consequence, we'll keep a watching brief on this occasion. Seixo Branco does have a pipe-opener at Newbury under his belt and if his jumping holds up, he looks to be the one to be on. Fireaway will need to improve his jumping to land a blow while Dabus, Silly Boy and Tiger Talk have tough tasks on paper.
