JIM THE FALCON travelled best to lead under two furlongs out and despite being a little bit green, Patrick Mullins? mount went away to get the task completed well.

A son of Saddlers? Hall and the fair winning hurdler, Lantern Luck, the five-year-old is viewed as a chaser in the making. Willie Mullins said of his charge who carried earplugs, ?he was just a little bit nervous for his first run and we?ll try to win a hurdle with him before the end of the season. He?ll go chasing after that.?

RARE ARTICLE has a flat orientated pedigree so it probably wasn?t that surprising that she didn?t see out the trip as well as the winner. She had a good previous effort in a maiden hurdle to her name and perhaps better ground will be the making of her.

BIANCAS BEAUTY performed well and she?ll likely improve on a sounder surface too. LEOS JOY, a big horse, had two handlers in the parade ring and out on the course he bettered anything that he?d achieved to date. More progression will be required and he?ll get better as he goes further one would imagine. FLAMING SAMBUCA ran if something was amiss and STOAWAY PRINCE (20s in the morning and 12s to 8s in the ring) to a lesser extent, didn?t measure up to expectations. OURAL DU CAMP (scoped wrong) was a non-runner.
