The Willie Mullins domination of this Grade 1 novice looks set to continue courtesy of BALLYBURN, who had next-time winners toiling in his wake in a maiden here at the Christmas meeting. Farren Glory looked set to land his second Grade 1 of the winter until crashing out at the second last at Aintree and is feared most ahead of Navan Grade 2 winner Slade Steel.
