Kolumbus from the Willie Mullins-yard is a lightly raced seven-year-old who may need a second run following on from a heavy defeat in a Leopardstown maiden two weeks ago, handing advantage to the in form ZAOFU who has finished in the runner-up position on his last two maiden hurdle starts at Gowran Park and Limerick. The Eoin Doyle-trained gelding is in good form right now and can land the prize here at the third time of asking. Licklighter could be the biggest danger.
