Formscan By Gary Carson - Willie Mullins saddles three here and FUNICULI FUNICULA looks the pick. The Storm The Stars gelding was turned over at a short price on his chase debut at Naas last month but may step forward from that outing. He was placed in Grade 1 company at Aintree last season and remains a nice prospect over fences. King Alexander was a couple of lengths in front of his stablemate at Naas but it looks significant that Paul Townend sticks with the selection now. Classy staying hurdler The Wallpark hasn’t shown much on his three outings over fences to date but is surely capable of better.%0A%0A
