FormscanBy Gary Carson - Burrows Saint looks the pick of Willie Mullins' pair on jockey bookings and better is obviously expected after two moderate runs over hurdles this season. At his best he'd be the one to beat at the weights but it would be a bit of a leap of faith to row in behind him after his showings this term. Stable-mate ACAPELLA BOURGEOIS won this last year and may be able to follow up. He has run well on his two outings this term and it was a solid effort to finish fifth in the competitive Thyestes Chase at Gowran last time. He has to give weight away to his rivals but at least comes into the race in some kind of form. Anibale Fly ran well off a lower mark over timber at Naas last time but needs to step up on his recent showings over fences.
