FormscanBy Gary Carson - HIPOP DE LOIRE was a Listed winner on the Flat in his native France and is a very interesting recruit for Willie Mullins. The American Post gelding could be a smart hurdler if transferring his ability to jumps. Mullins has a strong hand here with another smart Flat recruit in Jackfinbar. The 101-rated performer makes his first start since running the Cesarewitch last October. Apple's Of Bresil comes here in winning form having taken a Sligo bumper last month. He didn't look at home around the track there and did well to win in the circumstances. He has hurdling experience having been a distant third to Ballyburn at Leopardstown last Christmas.
