Although unimpressive on his debut for Willie Mullins when odds-on at Navan, DON POLI deserves another chance. He was impeded by Festive Felon on the run-in and though that winner has been well beaten subsequently the third has won so the form looks good enough for this. Kymin's Way, a bumper winner in heavy ground at Galway, has been a bit disappointing in two runs over timber but winning point-to-pointer Sizing Coal ran well behind Urano over today's track and trip earlier this month. Kerrieonvic looks the main threat as he's a real staying type judged on his placed efforts here and at Limerick and the ground is in his favour.
