Verdict

Henry de Bromhead's FULL OF LIFE shaped well when a debut hurdling second in a big field at Cork last month and this winning pointer can go one better now with improvement very much on the cards. Willie Mullins' Magic McColgan, also runner-up on her debut at Cork, is feared most, with form pick Speculatrix and newcomer Glens Lullaby in the picture too.
