Leomar hasn't quite fulfilled expectations since arriving from France though he's finished in the first four in eight of his nine starts. He'll be thereabouts again but was behind Papal Motel when Andrew McNamara's charge finished runner-up to Nessun Dorma at KiIlbeggan and there doesn't look an obvious reason for a form reversal. That winner is trained by Willie Mullins, who has hurdling newcomer Whiskey Sour engaged here. A dual winner for Eddie Lynam on the Flat, he finished last in his two latest starts in October but will no doubt leave that form well behind. WARP FACTOR showed real potential over hurdles over the winter culminating in a narrow defeat in a Listed contest at Musselburgh. He's been busy on the Flat and was only just beaten in a three-way photo at York last week so looks the one to be on.
