If the market vibes surrounding french import MISTERGIF are upbeat the hint should be taken. He was runner-up on the second of his two starts over hurdles on the other side of the Channel and is probably capable of better. Ask The Bookie looks the main threat on the back of his solid C&D effort but Poet's Cottage also has claims. In addition to the selection, Willie Mullins also fields Milo Lises and Surf Club, with the former also worth a second look.
