FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Willie Mullins introduces yet another French import in the shape of Kappa Jy Pyke, and while he warrants respect, it might be worth taking him on. The winner of an AQPS race in his native land back in October of last year, he beat Kuzco and Kazakh d'Arthel into second and third respectively, with both of those disappointing since. Successful on debut in a March point-to-point at Belclare, Pure Steel is of definite interest on his first start for Jimmy Mangan, while the Henry de Bromhead-trained Sky Lord and Enda Bolger's Park That are other leading hopes. For a selection ICARE D'AUBRELLE gets the nod. Described as 'something special' after winning on debut at Naas in February of 2022, he has clearly met with trouble since, but could start making up for lost time now.

Quotes on Icare D'aubrelle (FR)
He's very special and he has the pedigree to go with it as he's a half-brother to French Aseel who looked very good in Leopardstown before something went amiss with him. Bryan rode him in a school at Tipperary a couple of weeks back, two miles in soft ground, and he nearly went around a third time before he could pull him up. He's something special.
After Icare D'aubrelle (FR) finished 1st at Naas on Sat, 12th Feb 2022 1m 7f Bumper Soft
