Lots with chances but RAMILLIES is taken to bounce back from a poor showing in the Broadway at Cheltenham and resume winning ways on his first venture into handicap company for Willie Mullins. Darver Star is a consistent sort and feared most on the back of his good Wexford second, with Flegmatik and Must Be Obeyed completing the shortlist.
