Willie Mullins complicates matters with three entries. Rambranlt'jac was having just his second start over fences when beating what looked like a strong field in a beginners' chase at Galway and there's plenty more to come. Authorized Art was an odds-on chance when beaten on his chasing debut at Kilbeggan but put that behind him with an impressive all-the-way success at Limerick. Ganapathi was taking on Grade 3 company when placed at Galway where he wasn't beaten far though he has around five lengths to make up on runner-up CALL ME LYREEN, who just failed to complete a hat-trick and looks the one to beat here. The Little Yank's recent form over hurdles and fences bears close inspection and he's by no mean out of this with his rider's claim to aid his cause.
