The three to focus on here are KAWABOOMGA, Koktail Divin and William Munny, all of whom shaped really well when runner-up in maiden hurdles at Leopardstown during the Christmas period. Preference is for the first-named, who chased home exciting stablemate Kopek des Bordes on what was his first appearance for 10 months (and first start since joining the Willie Mullins yard).
