Willie Mullins has four entries though all eyes will be on EL FABIOLO (NAP), who has achieved a mark of 150 after just three starts. A 13 length winner on his debut for Willie Mullins at Tramore, he was elevated to Grade 1 company at Aintree and made Jonbon battle all the way to the line, going down by a neck. Naas maiden winner Bring On The Night couldn't get close to Constitution Hill at Cheltenham but is better than that while Ha D'Or was headed on the line by Flame Bearer at Fairyhouse and a line through the winner puts him in front of Micro Manage in the Mullins pecking order. Winning bumper Da Capo Glory made a spectacular hurdling debut at Gowran coming home 24 lengths clear though that was on heavy ground while Supreme Jet beat a huge field of maidens here by 17 lengths in January.
