Verdict

With six entries, Willie Mullins plays a strong hand and Paul Townend chooses Koshari, who returned after a very long absence to land a Cork handicap in style last month for which he's up 9lb. DAMALISQUE (NAP) was well supported for a Naas handicap in November but just came up short though losses were recovered in impressive fashion at Navan last week. Joseph O'Brien's charge is 12lb higher here but is progressing fast and Mark Walsh rides rather than Pure Genius, who he was on board for a facile maiden success at Punchestown. Ballyshannon Rose has been superbly placed to land four handicaps though another 12lb rise in this better race may be enough to prevent a five-timer. Several of these were behind Dandy Mag here in December and the winner is greatly respected.
