FormscanBy Michael Graham - Willie Mullins knows what is required to win this race having landed five of the last nine renewals and GAUCHER looks a likely sort for him. He has progressed on each of his three runs for Mullins and shed his maiden tag by a whopping 15 lengths in Punchestown which shows the engine under the bonnet once he gets to dictate. This trip is a good fit for Le Coq Hardi who took the honours in Down Royal and Roscommon, while Al Gasparo really enjoyed himself in Killarney when he slammed his rivals by 24 lengths. Instant Tendance is proven over further which will aid her cause as this could be run at a good clip.
