Lots of potential on show here and the market should prove highly informative. Willie Mullins' costly recruit GRANGECLARE WEST is taken to come out on top and add to his points and bumper success at the chief expense of fellow hurdling newcomers Firm Footings and Kudasheva who both appeal as promising sorts for this sphere. My Trump Card and Kilbree Warrior complete the shortlist.
