FASTORSLOW comes here on the back of a fine second in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and is taken to go one better in a very open handicap. Willie Mullins arrives mob handed and his La Prima Donna is fancied to emerge second best with Camprond and Drop The Anchor two more who command plenty of respect.
