Willie Mullins had five entered at the early stage and complicates matters by saddling both ON HIS OWN, who is better known as a chaser these days but won a Grade 2 when last seen over timber at Navan in February, and Twigline. The latter has much more scope and is receiving plenty of weight but this looks a task for an experienced performer in very testing ground and it's the former who is handed the vote. Seskinane is progressing with every run and easily landed a KIlbeggan maiden last time though takes on much stronger opposition. Time To Work looked promising early last year but wasn't seen after April until having a run on the Flat at Clonmel a couple of weeks ago.
