A few of these bring potential, not least Willie Mullins' new recruit BRECHIN CASTLE who brings some very useful bumper form from his time with Ben Brookhouse and is fancied to make light of a long absence and make a winning start over hurdles. Bulgaden Castle is the clear pick of those with hurdling experience and rates a big threat though, while Coco Masterpiece, Famous Figure and Jerry From Kerry all look to have better days ahead of them and need factoring in for minor honours.
