Battle Of Wills (11/4), Gamin Original (4/1), Hook Up (11/2), Bajan Excell (11/2), Burning Victory (7/1), Anna Bunina (8/1), Georgette Fun (14/1), Gjoumi (16/1), Van Meegeren (33/1), Great Bear (40/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins runs four here and the fact that none of them have run for the master of Closutton rather clouds the picture. Stable jockey Paul Townend will presumably have sat on most of them at home so the fact that he rides GAMIN ORIGINAL is reason enough to chance him. Mullins' arch-rival Gordon Elliott has a fine team of novice hurdlers and his Battle Of Wills who won his first hurdle race at Naas could provide the biggest stumbling block. Useful Flat performer Burning Victory looks Mullins second string but it would be no surprise should she actually prove the best of the Closutton four.
  1. Gamin Original
  2. Battle Of Wills
  3. Burning Victory
