Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and Willie Mullins' newcomer WORLD AS ONE is taken to build on the promise shown when making the frame in a pair of bumpers and make a successful start in this sphere. Sestini shaped well at Cork on his hurdling debut and could emerge as the main danger if shrugging off a lesser effort at Punchestown, although the unreliable Manoir De Mirande also has the form to play a prominent role if at his best.
