Formscan By Donal Murphy - An embarrassment of riches for Willie Mullins, saddling no less than four strong contenders in this quality affair. Paul Townend will be aboard French import Absurde, who won on his hurdling debut at Killarney before finishing second at Royal Ascot. He was behind a stable companion there and might have to settle for a similar faith now, with SPACE TOURIST the selection. Three from four since joining Mullins, she has impressed in recent starts and bids to complete a hat-trick, with Rachael Blackmore booked for the ride. Williamstowndancer and Arctic Fly are the other Closutton representatives, with the former also aiming for her third win in-a-row. Enfranchise was a fine seventh in Grade 3 company at Tipperary earlier this month and while yet to win over flights, she should give a good account of herself. Calico and Castra Vetera also warrant respect.
