FormscanBy Tom Weekes - This looks competitive and DUNVEGAN might be able to build on the promise he has shown in his career thus far. A smart bumper performer, he chased home subsequent Royal Ascot winner Pallasator on hurdles debut last March and showed the benefit of that outing when winning his maiden hurdle well at Fairyhouse in December. The form of that maiden is now very strong, with the runner-up and third both winning since, and the step up in trip could bring about more improvement. The riding arrangements for Willie Mullins' five runners is fascinating and while Ruby Walsh rides Cheltenham Bumper winner Relegate, her form has been nothing out of the ordinary over hurdles thus far. She could well progress with the step up in trip but Salsaretta could prove best of the Mullins runners, despite being apparent third-string. A third season novice, she beat smart Felix Desjy, who admittedly may have been below par, at Limerick over Christmas and today's step up in trip could well bring about some more improvement as her Limerick win was gained on testing ground. Paul Townend rides Come To Me but he has a little to prove now having disappointed in a Grade 1 at Naas last month, when found to be coughing post-race. He is a smart horse at his best but the addition of a first-time hood today is not exactly encouraging. Rhinestone has his chance today having run better than his finishing position last time out at Navan in December. He finished behind Getareason and Defi Bleu then but can reverse the form today, given he blundered badly at the third last flight when seemingly in with every chance and will have been targeted at this race. Commander Of Fleet was outclassed in a Grade 1 in December but there was no disgrace in the run as subsequent Grade 1 winner Aramon was third and the trip then was probably well short of his best, with today's distance likely top suit. The Big Dog was a good winner of his maiden hurdle at Gowran just nine days ago and while this is a big step up in class, he looks a good staying prospect and can get involved today.
