Gordon Elliott has four entries here including the progressive bumper Runfordave and the point-to-point winner Minella Till Dawn though both may need the experience on their hurdling debuts. Ask Nile won between the flags in May and made a promising start over timber at Cork last month while Hidden Charmer has been making steady progress and was only headed on the run-in over this trip at Wexford. It's difficult to know what to make of Senewalk, who won a minor race on the Flat in France in the summer of last year but he has a superb pedigree for jumping and looks a very interesting recruit to the Willie Mullins team. MOULIN A VENT (NAP) won a Galway bumper last month before tackling hurdles at Down Royal where he was always travelling nicely but couldn't get past the odds-on Monbeg Notorious. That was over a slightly longer trip and with that experience behind him he looks the one to beat.
