Crosshue Boy and has amateur rider have done very well to win three in a row, albeit in lesser company. A break might have refreshed The West's Awake and Three Wise Men will strip fitter for his third at Gowran. Willie Mullins runs three and Bon Papa reverts to the trip over which he won at Punchestown in November before running in Grade 1 contests at Leopardstown. Blazer has a lengthy absence to overcome and PATRICKS PARK only joined the Mullins team in the autumn. But he’s been quick to make his mark, beating a big field at Leopardstown in February. Despite a 10lb rise, he might well be good enough to follow up.
