MOZOLTOV is likely to start a very short priced favourite and should have few problems. Strongly fancied to make a winning racecourse debut on this track in February, the expensive son of Kayf Tara found Mount Belbulben too strong but the winner has proved himself a very useful performer and there's nothing of his calibre entered here. Winner point-to-pointer Bulletproof has shown a glimmer of ability in bumpers but it would be no surprise to see a newcomer follow the selection home and Ardboe Abbey, who is from the family of several fine stayers, could be the one for the runners-up spot though the market may prove the best guide.
