FAST BUCK, a dual all-weather winner in France, was returning from a long absence and having his first start for Willie Mullins when runner-up to Fakir D'oudairies at Cork. The winner is at the head of the betting for two races at Cheltenham so the form looks strong. All For Joy, runner-up in all five starts in bumpers, was having his second race over timber when a close second to Advantage Point over the track and trip and should be thereabouts again. Poseidon will be winning soon judged on his three runs over hurdles to date though this is a very tough maiden in which winning bumper Momus should get into contention after finding 2m4f stretching his stamina last time. Winning bumper Castle Oliver looks best of the remainder.
