Willie Mullins won this a year ago with Echoes In Rain, who completed a hat-trick later in the campaign. HAWAI GAME represents the yard this time and the half-brother to the smart Easy Game landed a bumper in the French Provinces last October and can make a successful hurdling debut. Chiricahua scored twice on the Flat in the summer and had every chance when falling at the last on his hurdling debut at Listowel. He came up against a smart one at Wexford next time and looks a major threat. Deja Rouge took a long time to warm up at Fairyhouse last month but was staying on nicely and looks certain to give a good account while Forest Pump can do better in the expectation his jumping will improve. Fairyhouse bumper winner Mary's Pride may prove best of the remainder.
