Willis Mullins boasts a terrific record in this race and saddles three strong candidates in TOUNSIVATOR, Mirazur West and Western Diego this time round. Preference is for the first-named, who was successful twice on the Flat in France and he looked good when getting the better of next-time-out winner Rainbow Trail and 23 others on his hurdles debut at Naas. Mirazur West is better than he was able to show when failing to land the odds last time and is second choice ahead of Western Diego.
