Rebellito, a winner on the Flat in France, made a fair debut for Willie Mullins after a long absence at Punchestown in November but was reported to have had breathing difficulties on a return visit last month so is best watched for now. Still Standing scored five times on the Flat including at Listed level but was beaten a long way on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown in December. The Broghie Man, another Listed winner on the Flat, showed his first sign of ability over hurdles when narrowly beaten at Punchestown and wouldn't need much more here though the vote goes to WHATSNOTOKNOW. Well supported here last month, Mouse Morris' charge beat all bar the favourite Arcadian Sunrise and can go one better.
