Verdict

I STARTED A JOKE possesses much the best form on show so this useful bumper scorer is fancied to deservedly get off the mark over hurdles. Willie Mullins' Riskabahia proved much too free when only ninth on his debut in this sphere at Navan and could take a big step forward now fitted with a hood. Winning pointer Embrace The Day brings a fair bit of potential starting out under Rules and could also have a say, while Springhill Warrior, Playtime and Tyson Fury all need factoring in too.
