Winning point-to-pointer Dorydalis was well beaten in bumpers but was in the lead when falling at the fifth over hurdles at Clonmel. This looks a confidence-booster and he faces a potentially useful performer in DORRELLS PIERJI. Odds-on when a 30-length winner on his debut at Belharbour last February, he's joined Willie Mullins and can take this before going on to better things. Cuneo ran twice over hurdles before finishing second in a Navan bumper though was beaten 10 lengths and it will be a surprise if either of the remaining pair can get involved.
