Willie Mullins attacks the Marsh with four runners, headed by the old warrior Faugheen who has enjoyed a new lease of life over fences. He outbattled Samcro (wind surgery since) when that pair clashed in a much anticipated heat at Limerick (2m4f, heavy) on Boxing Day. Meanwhile, Mister Fisher (2-3) and Scilly Isles foes Itchy Feet (2-2) and Midnight Shadow (1-5) all continue on upward curves, while the enigmatic Melon could have more too offer over this trip. However, seeking clear each-way value the selection is the Punchestown Grade 1 bumper scorer TORNADO FLYER. It's certainly not unthinkable that he can reverse Flogas form with Faugheen.
