Verdict

Willie Mullins has just one runner at the fixture, Security Breach, who looked a nice prospect when landing a beginners chase at Listowel in September 2014 but hasn't been seen since November of that year. Mr Diablo landed a beginners event at Fairyhouse before a tremendous run in a very strong handicap at Punchestown won by Mullins' Avant Tout. With further progress likely he'll take some beating but this can go to TULSA JACK. Noel Meade's charge is a powerful stayer when getting his jumping act together and though not always foot-perfect his overall form points to a big run here. Padraig's Joy has been running well over shorter but this is likely to be a stiff test of stamina which may also rule out Sir Abbot, who has also yet to prove he stays this far over fences.
