High Class Hero (8/11), What Path (4/1), Pink In The Park (6/1), Reverend Hubert (13/2), Gortmillish (10/1), Baltic Bird (14/1), Mister Twist (25/1), Sequestered (33/1)

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his impressive Galway debut hurdles winner HIGH CLASS HERO is taken to edge out stablemate What Path in this cracking novice hurdle. Baltic Bird and Reverend Hubert both have better days ahead of them too and can't be discounted while Mullins's likely third string Pink In The Park is no forlorn hope either.
