Supreme Novices Hurdle winner KOPEK DES BORDES (7) provides his chase debut. Willie Mullins has him out early which shows he must be forward enough to make for plenty of appeal. LOVELY HURLING (8) looks an exciting recruit to fences representing Colm Murphy. Winner of a jumpers flat and novice hurdle before finishing behind a noted performer at Punchestown in a G1. Chief threat to the favourite. BALLYBOW (2) disappointed when twelfth attempting the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. One of the leading contenders back in trip and grade. HARVARD GUY (4) has not been seen since February 2024. Talented however is likely best watched.
