Capodanno ended his first campaign for Willie Mullins over hurdles with a very impressive victory in a Grade B handicap at Punchestown. He's rated 147 over timber but is 3lb below stable companion GAILLARD DU MESNIL, winner of two Grade 1 novices' events and runner-up to Bob Olinger at Cheltenham. Indiana Jones has produced two excellent runs over fences, the first here and the second when just failing to hold off Busselton over slightly further at Punchestown. Henry De Bromhead has two entries with Rachael Blackmore on board winning point-to-pointer and hurdler Gabbys Cross, who made a fair chasing debut at Thurles and will improve. Crosshill will also have come on markedly for his run behind Ciel De Neige on the latter track with the remainder well beaten and Roseys Hollow is one to look forward to when the ground turns testing.
