THE BEST IS YET TO COME Sinnatra, left, is a horse on the up

All looked well when he defeated Bill Baxter on his return over hurdles at Newbury in November but his first go at Grade One company that month in Haydock's Betfair Chase ended in failure.

He bounced back with an emphatic defeat of O'Connell in the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow and set up a tilt at this race when surging clear in the Denman at Newbury last month.

SELMA DE VARY (1.20) can keep Willie Mullins’ bandwagon rolling in the Triumph Hurdle.

The filly signed off for Emmanuel Clayeux by brushing aside Hawai De Baune at Auteuil come November.

That final triumph earned the four-year-old an expensive switch to the Closutton operation.

Expectations were high as she made her Irish debut last month with a second in a hot Grade One at Leopardstown and there is plenty left.

Mullins has another solid chance with ROC DINO (5.20) in the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle.
