A 1-2-3 for the Willie Mullins yard beckons and SPINDLEBERRY, despite being passed over by Paul Townend, could be the pick of the champion trainer's trio. She was runner-up in a Grade 1 mares' novice hurdle here last spring and has made a seamless transition to fences this season, landing a Cork maiden on return in December and a listed event back here next time. There should be better to come from this 7-y-o and she is preferred to Townend's pick Champ Kiely and Ile Atlantique.

    Smart chaser. 30/100, career best when winning 4-runner Flyingbolt Novices' Chase at Navan (16f, heavy) 50 days ago by 8 lengths from Jeannot Lapin, readily. Solid claims.

    Verdict
    Smart chaser. 29¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Majborough in Irish Arkle Novices' Chase (5/2) at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Stepping back up in trip no bad thing but Paul Townend prefers Champ Kiely.

    Verdict
    Useful chaser. Career best when winning 5-runner listed chase (8/11) at this course (21.8f, soft) 57 days ago by 6½ lengths from Bioluminescence, comfortably. Paul Townend has opted to partner Champ Kiely but this progressive mare is feared all the same.

    Verdict
    Smart chaser. Latest win at Navan in November. 8 lengths second of 4 to Lecky Watson in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (19.4f, heavy, 6/4) 98 days ago. Needs to raise his game a touch.

    Verdict
    Smart chaser. Respectable sixth of 19 in handicap chase (4/1) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Talented though he is, it's likely that he'll find one or two too good.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful chaser. 10½ lengths fourth of 5 to Spindleberry in listed chase at this course (21.8f, soft, 11/1) 57 days ago. No reason to believe that she will reverse placings with that rival here.
