Another Dublin Racing Festival in which Willie Mullins looks set to dominate and PREDATORS GOLD looks the strongest of his quartet in the opening contest having pulled clear with the exciting Caldwell Potter in the Future Champions Novices' Hurdle here over Christmas. The selection's stable companions Loughglynn and I Will Be Baie are both unbeaten over hurdles and they can provide most resistance.
