Going - Soft to Heavy. Showers

Formscan By Gary Carson - Willie Mullins obviously has a strong hand in this with five runners and Paul Townend sticks with QUAI DE BOURBON in the two-and-a-half mile contest. He rode the Ivanhowe gelding on his chase debut at Leopardstown when he was a close third in a tight finish behind Dee Capo. With that run under his belt he’s entitled to improve and may turn the tables now on stablemate Chapeau De Soleil, who was just half-a-length in front of him then. Blizzard Of Oz is another Closutton runner with a big shout after a fine run to finish third to stablemate Lecky Watson on his chase debut at Naas.
