Race Tip

Willie Mullins saddles two interesting newcomers in the colours of Gigginstown House Stud in the shape of MON CREUSET (6) and MOULIN LABBE (7). Paul Townend has chosen Mon Creuset who looked more professional on his debut but both require respect and serious consideration. LYNCHES KNOCK (5) improved from his debut effort at Navan to score at Leopardstown over christmas. His experience could be crucial in this contest made up of inexperienced rivals. SARATOGA (10) should improve plenty from his hurdle debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. Smart on the flat for Aidan O'Brien and has a future over hurdles.
