MAKE IT HURRAH ran an excellent race when last seen on the flat at Galway where he was a close second in a big field and such form and experience should stand him in good stead here. New Direction ran well last time out at Navan and he looks likely to arrive here as he hits top form. Unexposed hurdler Makitorix is an intriguing contender for Willie Mullins.
