Bellow Mome only had moderate form in France and was beaten a long way when fourth on his debut for Willie Mullins at Leopardstown in December - he is very much a chasing type. Indian Court finished runner-up in a huge field here last month then found 2m4f stretching his stamina on a return visit. Lip Service could never really get a blow in when third behind Don't Touch It at Leopardstown but it was a fair run and he should get into the firing-line. Winning point-to-pointer CAPPUCCINO MAN has done enough in bumpers to suggest he'll be difficult to beat with a set of hurdles in front of him and looks the type to progress enough to land a race of this nature. Dual Flat winner Good Tradition was well beaten on his introduction to hurdles at Naas but will have learned plenty from the run.
