Verdict

HUNTERS YARN looked all set to make the perfect start over fences here last month until coming down at the last and can gain quick compensation before going onto better things. Firm Footings also has a bright future in this sphere and should ensure Willie Mullins' smart hurdler doesn't have things all his own way however, with Path d'Oroux appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
