It could be a 1-2 for the Willie Mullins yard, with KATOU taken to get the better of stablemate Rule The Wind. The latter was turned over when a warm order at Kilbeggan but that run can be excused and he is a big player judged on his Tipperary hurdles debut second. However, it looks significant that Paul Townend is aboard Katou, who shaped well on debut in a Thurles bumper in December and is likely to be seen in a better light now switched to hurdles. The Folkes Tiara is best of the rest.
