Willie Mullins has won the last 2 runnings and may hold the key again, with the Paul Townend-ridden GAMIN ORIGINAL, who was running a big race when tipping up in this contest 12 months ago, preferred to stablemate Hubrisko. Gordon Elliott newcomer Riaan would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.
