ARCTIC WARRIOR looks very talented and can prove a class act stepping up into Graded company here. The German-bred gelding looked an unlucky loser on his first outing for Willie Mullins at Down Royal back in February when travelling best down to the second-last flight only to get it all wrong and crash out. The horse that won that day Decimation went on to finish runner-up in Grade 2 company subsequently. It proved plain sailing for Arctic Warrior on his return at Sligo in early August and this will give us a better idea of how good he is. Stablemate Purple Mountain is a Listed bumper winner and got off the mark on her jumping debut at Galway. She was perhaps a touch fortunate at Ballybrit with Gamin Original unshipping at the last and this is a much tougher test. Annie G, an impressive winner of a Listed hurdle at Galway, could be the bigger danger. She beat a couple of decent rivals in fine style last time and could be capable of a bit better than her mark of 127.
