Willie Mullins won this with subsequent Supreme Novices Hurdle favourite Getabird last season and he has another exciting prospect to unleash here in top class bumper performer TORNADO FLYER. This will be the five-year-olds first run over hurdles but if he jumps adequately he will surely have too much class for these rivals. Cuneo will find any chinks in the selections armour having already finished first past the post in a hurdle contest so he is the obvious danger. Dream Conti like the selection is a potentially smart prospect on this his hurdles bow.
