APERCU shaped well at the Curragh on her return 3 weeks ago and can be expected to step up on that back up in trip. She shades the vote over Lope de Lilas, who is an interesting handicap debutant for Willie Mullins. Take Heart and Slieve Binnian both made encouraging comebacks and are others to consider.
