The Willie Mullins team were in good form Sunday with across-the-card first and seconds at Cork and here. The trainers EIGHT AND BOB can continue a rich vein of form sparkling in a number of starts since October and land the spoils here for a yard who have saddled Clondaw Warrior (2016) and Thomas Hobson (2017) to victory in handicap hurdles at the Easter festival in the last three years. The Henry De Bromhead-trained Mormon has shown plenty of promise in two starts and can prove to be the biggest menace, while Mount Hanover and Eoline Jolie look capable of hitting the frame.
