Back to the drawing board after Leopardstown and others appeal more.

Came clear at Naas but lots more is needed and this is a big ask for 4yos.

Won at Fakenham, then third at Newbury; this task looks well beyond him.

Showed speed and stamina to win a Grade 2 at Leopardstown and he's the right favourite.

Strolled home in front by 16l at Chepstow (good to soft) but this race is so much tougher.

Looked good at Fairyhouse in December and this has been the main target ever since.

Limerick winner who looks down the pecking order of Team Mullins.

His top trainer has yet to win this but he's impressed in winning a point and bumper.

Did plenty wrong when second to Better Days Ahead at Fairyhouse; likely improver.

Outpaced on yielding ground at Leopardstown (Grade 2); deeper conditions here a bonus.

Impressed on good here in October and that form has worked out; player if handling ground.

26.8
Outpaced by A Dream To Share over 2m but he's a 2m4f winner who will be staying on; feared

Only fourth at Leopardstown last month and playing for the places if he's lucky.

Falls into the 'could be anything' category but unlikely to be good enough.
12 Paul Townend · W P Mullins 161 1-1

Bolted up at Navan and he would appear right up there in the Mullins pecking order.
14 Jack Foley · W P Mullins 161 2-22

Officially second in all three starts having been demoted from first in the middle one.

Easy 15l winner at Down Royal but the runner-up was making it 0-4 in bumpers.

2-2 here but her surprise defeat at Market Rasen has to temper enthusiasm.
