8/11
Useful 17f winner over hurdles who has shaped well on both his runs over fences, forced to switch run-in when a short-head second of 9 in novice chase at Gowran 73 days ago. Can gain compensation.

40/1
Useful winning hurdler for Willie Mullins but off the track for 14 months. Makes his yard/chase debut with fitness to prove.

Useful hurdler let down by his jumping when a below-form fifth of 14 in novice chase at Gowran 14 months ago (had chased home Ballyburn at Punchestown prior to that).

150/1
20/1, respectable fifth of 11 in 2m novice hurdle at Kilbeggan last May on his final run for Eddie O'Grady. Struggled on chase debut prior to that. Absence to overcome and probably one for handicaps.

11/5
Useful chaser placed all 3 starts in maidens but well held in the Golden Miller at Cheltenham 24 days ago. Can go well dropped in trip/class.

Forecasts

Funiculi Funicula (8/11), Wingmen (11/5), Ocastle Des Mottes (9/2), Mister Pink (40/1), Scalpnagoon (50/1), The Burrow (150/1), Major Wells (200/1)

Verdict

FUNICULI FUNICULA went down only narrowly at Gowran last time having been checked in his run late on and rates a confident choice to go one better for Willie Mullins. Wingmen can chase home the promising 6-y-o.
