Willie Mullins had a trio of entries at the early stage and relies on WICKLOW GOLD, who despite his very moderate form is given the nod in what looks a poor event. His recent run behind The Job Is Right at Clonmel is just about the best form on view and he won't get a better chance. French recruit Kozani ran well enough behind Upazo at Fairyhouse to suggest he can get involved with normal progress and winning point-to-pointer Ichey Feet has a decent bumper run to her credit. Highbrow Blue had no chance against the classy Faugheen at Punchestown but takes a drop in grade and could make his presence felt.
