MINO DES MOTTES has some fairly useful form to his name and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to gain a first win in this sphere having performed with credit when mid-field in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival last time out. Bartholomew can build on a debut hurdling fourth at Leopardstown and chase home Willie Mullins' 4-y-o ahead of newcomers Mirfaq and Matcho d'Agrostis.
