Returning to the scene of his best hurdles run to date when runner-up over this C&D, TROPICAL TALENT could be worth another chance with headgear refitted. Portcammon mixed it in better company than this when trained by Willie Mullins and there were signs of promise in his most recent outing for current connections. He's feared, particularly if the market speaks in his favour, while Guillaume warrants plenty of respect having bounced right back to form last time.
