On quicker ground and in a bigger field, it would have been tempting to take on Appreciate It in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, but things have fallen in to place nicely for Willie Mullins’ runner and his unbeaten record over hurdles can continue with victory in the Festival opener.

Even if For Pleasure leads, the rank outsider is likely to be ignored somewhat, and thus not a concern as a pace angle. He is a free-going sort, likely to go off too fast and he must improve considerably to win at this level.
