Trainer Willie Mullins has won this race three times in the last four years and his COOL COLONNADE impressed when winning on debut in this sphere last time out and he can maintain his unbeaten record in this opening novice hurdle. Stablemate Easy Game is another to have won on debut and he can finish runner-up ahead of Devil's Glen who was also successful on his first hurdles outing.
