Verdict

Jessica Harrington has a tremendous record in this and Not Many Left is the stable's representative this time, though he was disappointing when stepped into Grade 3 company at Thurles after easily landing a Navan maiden. Le Martalin has been running well over fences without managing a victory but Sire Du Berlais ran a fine race behind stable companion Blow By Blow in the Martin Pipe and should get into contention. PRAVALAGUNA hasn't done as well as expected but this looks his level and he caught the eye when staying on behind stablemate Low Sun over the minimum at Aintree so can take this for Willie Mullins.
