FormscanBy Alan Magee - Riding arrangements suggest BALYGUNNER CASTLE is preferred of Willie Mullins’ quartet. The Fairyhouse maiden hurdle winner was also placed at Grade 2 level last season and looks the type to do well as a staying chaser. Argento Boy and Port Joulain add further weight to the Closutton challenge while Kurasso Blue is an obvious threat from the in-form Gordon Elliott yard. The dual hurdles winner was second on chase debut over 2m6f at Thurles while Butch Cassidy, Da Capo Glory and Western Walk are others to consider in what should prove an informative event.
