16/1
Useful hurdler. 20¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Touch Me Not in Craddockstown Novices' Chase (100/1) at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

18/1
Useful hurdler. Good second of 10 in handicap hurdle (85/40) at Killarney (22.8f, good) 162 days ago. Will need to improve for the switch to fences in order to make a winning debut in this sphere.

Horse silk
20/1
Useful hurdler. 4/1, fourth of 6 in novice chase at Tipperary (23.5f, soft) on debut over fences 36 days ago and he will be sharper this time. One of 3 representing the Willie Mullins yard.

Horse silk
9/1
Useful hurdler. Career best when winning 23-runner handicap hurdle (16/1) at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) when last seen 7 months ago. Interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting ahead of this chase debut.

15/2
Useful hurdler. 18/1, running creditably when falling 2 out in novice chase at Navan (20.7f, soft) 21 days ago. Likely he will have a role to play if able to avoid any mishaps this time.

8/11
Useful hurdler. 8/11, career best when winning 6-runner novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, good to soft) on latest start in April. Paul Townend's pick of the Mullins trio and he's of significant interest swictehd to fences.

Forecasts

Quai De Bourbon (8/11), An Tobar (5/1), Dee Capo (15/2), Chapeau De Soleil (9/1), Anyway (16/1), Black Bamboo (18/1), Captain Cody (20/1)

Verdict

QUAI DE BOURBON's sole defeat from four starts over hurdles last season came in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival, a race in which he finished a very solid third. The 5-y-o is armed with sky-high potential now tackling the larger obstacles and, granted a clear round, he will prove hard to beat. Dee Capo, who was still firmly in contention when falling two out at Navan three weeks ago, is feared most ahead of the selection's stablemates Captain Cody and Chapeau de Soleil.
