Willie Mullins has five entries with FUN FUN FUN looking the pick despite a moderate effort in the championship bumper at Cheltenham. She'd looked one to follow when scooting up at Sligo and in a Leopardstown Grade 2, when Fancy Girl was well beaten, and is much better than she showed at The Festival. Her stable companion Junta Marvel had a nice introduction at Limerick where she travelled well throughout but another from the yard, Cuta Des As, appeared to have had every chance in a Fairyhouse Listed contest. Bold Reflection won well at Limerick and Jamie Codd gets the ride.
