FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A fiercely competitive affair, with Willie Mullins saddling five of the 20. Lurking towards the bottom of the handicap is his LISNAGAR FORTUNE, and with Danny Mullins aboard he is of definite interest. Two from two at the venue, the Soldier Of Fortune seven-year-old makes his debut in handicap company here and could be primed for a big run. One of three Henry de Bromhead-trained representatives in the line-up, Theatre Native is sure to have plenty of supporters after her impressive Cheltenham success, while his Nara, who has won two of her last three, is another leading hope. A case can be made for many more, with Cleatus Poolaw and Prince Palace two others for the shortlist.
