Wicklow Brave returns to Punchestown seeking a second success in this contest, but one of five representatives from Closutton, he'll be hard pushed to do so. Mullins also saddles Coquin Mans, Min, Bleu Berry and the Champion Hurdle runner up MELON. The latter has always held star-billing, but he's slowly beginning to live up to the hype, and a reproduction of his neck defeat to Buveur D'Air ought to prove good enough. The brilliant novice Samcro has proved unbeatable so far, and truthfully looks to be the real deal, but this rates as by far his sternest test yet at the end of a tough season, whilst the stayer Supasundae merits consideration.
