Willie Mullins runs FACILE VEGA, Diverge and Il Etait Temps, second, third and fifth in the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham won by Marine Nationale. The runner-up made a mistake at the last which didn't help and already a Grade 1 winner over timber and a dual bumper winner at the highest level, he should regain winning ways here. Found A Fifty, beaten a head by Corbetts Cross in a Naas Grade 2, pulled too hard and ran poorly in a Grade 1 at Aintree and will need to do very much better while No Looking Back, 10th in the latter race, has plenty to find.
