The solid and consistent ALPHA DES OBEAUX can land the spoils here following a number of promising starts since the turn of the year, confirming his entry in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase at the festival. The Jessica Harrington-trained mare, Magic Of Light can prove to be the biggest danger after a win and a runner-up position in competitive contests this year. Trainer Willie Mullins has won this race for the last three years with Boston Bob, Pleasant Company and Bellshill but may have to settle for a minor honour with his two representatives.
