Master Appeal and Fly Rory Fly are closely matched on their Clonmel clash last month and granted clear rounds should both run their respective races. Go It Alone should win races over fences and he's already demonstrated that he'll handle both track and ground, but is likely to find a few of these rivals too hot to handle. Black Warrior hasn't quite looked as talented over fences as he was over hurdles, whilst Ballela Boy is on the up and is a mildly interesting chasing debutant. However, the clear talking horse is the once very talented RATHVINDEN. His best days are most likely behind him, but he is unexposed over fences and appears to be crying out for this extra yardage, so his class should see him through against these rivals in order to provide Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh with another winner.
