FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Willie Mullins-trained NINTH TITAN can follow up his recent bloodless victory at Tramore. While the bare form of that maiden hurdle doesn't look anything special, the champion trainer has traditionally run some of his nicer horses at the County Waterford track. A four-time winner on the flat in his native France, the horse had his excuses when a beaten favourite at this meeting last year. A dual point-to-point winner for previous connections, Born Braver has won his last two starts for trainer Gavin Cromwell. A proven stayer, the son of Court Cave should relish the Galway hill. Listowel winner Heroes Rise is a lightly raced four-year-old who should be open to more improvement than most of his rivals.
