A tricky contest this but a chance is taken on Willie Mullins' supposed second string in
BUILDMEUPBUTTERCUP. The mare showed smart bumper form for Mick Channon and made a winning start over hurdles on similar ground at Navan which will serve her well, with all of the weight on her side she gets the vote in an open enough contest.
Swordsman may prove the pick of the Gigginstown trio despite being the least experienced and Gordon Elliott's five-year-old couldn't have been much more impressive last time out.
Harrie must be respected with Ruby Walsh in the saddle as the apparent Mullins first string but there is clearly little between them so far.
