King Vuvuzela easily won a Punchestown bumper in May and made a reasonable start over timber at Cork last month though there is no reason to suggest he can reverse placings with TRIFOLIUM, who finished runner-up and looks good enough to go one better. Silver Shuffle had been going well on the Flat before returning to hurdling with a decent run on ground too testing at Galway and must be considered along with Folsom Blue, who has shown promise in bumpers and between the flags. The French-bred Turban makes his racecourse debut for Willie Mullins and is an obvious one to keep an eye on.
