Willie Mullins' KALIX DELABARRIERE looked a hurdles winner in waiting when an excellent runner-up here last time so gets the vote ahead of his stablemate Road To Home who remains with potential despite running out late here last time out. Joseph O'Brien introduces an interesting sort in Walk On The Beach and this fairly useful bumper scorer needs considering for minor honours along with the unexposed Gordon Elliott-trained duo Hello Jack and Son of Anarchy.
