FormscanBy Michael Graham - Willie Mullins unleashes four novice chasers and KAROLINE BANBOU could be the one to side with. She won her maiden hurdle at this track in February and showed ability in fourth a Grade 2 at the Cheltenham Festival. She has Flat speed and enjoys testing ground which makes her a threat to all if taking to fences. Stablemate Karamoja, who was Grade-One placed over hurdles, looks a big danger on chasing bow. Emmet Mullins runs McLaurey who began his chasing career with a reasonable fourth over much further at Thurles, and should be sharper dropping back to an extended two-miles. Jacob's Ladder, who is race fit from two beginners' chases last month, is far from out of it.
