Verdict

OL MAN DINGLE developed into a useful hurdler with a tongue tie fitted last season, winning 3 times and, runner-up on his sole start in points earlier in his career, there appears no reason why he won't make an impact now his attentions switch to the larger obstacles. More Coko may emerge best of the Willie Mullins' trained-pair and rates the chief danger.

2	Bumper/dual hurdles winner who made a promising start in this sphere when fourth of 9 in a C&D maiden in July, losing third late on.

5	Useful hurdler who is seemingly being brought along gradually over fences, taking a step forward when second of 3 in novice chase (15/8) at Killarney (23f, good to soft) in May. Type to do better again, particularly in handicaps. 3rd Pick 5 Will The Wise (Ire) Jockey: Keith Donoghue Trainer: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland J: Keith Donoghue T: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland	99	-	-	-	39%
