VERDICT: Mighty Potter might succeed against Willie Mullins and has maintained top form for most of his career. Two jumping errors resulted in him pulling up at Cheltenham last March but he quickly bounced back, is a three-time Grade 1 winner who is suited by conditions and defeated Gaillard Du Mesnil in the Drinmore. Gaillard Du Mesnil subsequently won a Christmas Grade 1 but is open to less progression being a second-season novice and might prefer three-miles. James Du Berlais was narrowly beaten in two French Grade 1s hurdles, and while his Fairyhouse form is nothing special, scored in taking style. However he has been lightly-raced in recent years and drying ground mightn't suit. Kilcruit was a brilliant bumper winner at this festival in 2021 but has failed to match that form over jumps. Adamantly Chosen was beaten 28 lengths in the Drinmore and was Grade 1 placed over Christmas while I Am Maximus needs to improve.
