Verdict
Willie Mullins has three entries. Cash Back has raced exclusively on ground with plenty of give while Jon Snow, who completed a novice double in the summer of 2020, finished a long way last on his comeback in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last month. SHEWEARSITWELL completed a hat-trick in 2020 culminating in a Tipperary Grade 3 victory. She fell on her reappearance in December and looked in need of the run at the Punchestown festival so gets the vote to return to winning ways. The Bosses Oscar didn't take to fences over the winter and ran poorly in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham while impressive Kilbeggan maiden winner Amirite is unsuited by the race conditions. Peregrine Run goes here instead of the Grade 3 chase later which he's won twice in recent years.
