Formscan - BILLERICAY DICKIE got off the mark in the style of a very smart prospect when winning by a wide margin on his hurdles bow over 2m4f at Punchestown in January and, with a freshness edge over some of his rivals, he gets the vote to take Willie Mullins a step closer to securing the trainers championship. Quai De Bourbon arrives on the back of an excellent third in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month and he can give the selection the most to think about. Jetronic scored on his hurdles debut for this stable at Plumpton last month, though he benefitted from an easy time of things out in front that day and isn't guaranteed the same here.
