Willie Mullins has bigger fish to fry at Fairyhouse but will be expecting a big run from BILLAWAY, who was heavily supported for a maiden hunters' race at Downpatrick and won very easily. The once top-class Salsify won this in 2016 and though a light of other days is still capable of getting involved in this sort of grade. It Came To Pass has only had five opponents to beat for his recent double but Blacklough beat a decent field at Dromahane last weekend and has to be respected. Holly Flight's second to Fenno's Storm on her penultimate start was a fine effort but she didn't get far on her latest start.
