Forecasts

Jade De Grugy (7/4), Jetara (11/4), Fun Fun Fun (9/2), Bioluminescence (13/2), Springtime Promise (16/1), Cuta Des As (16/1), Spindleberry (25/1), Only By Night (25/1), Pastorale (25/1), Pink In The Park (28/1), Friends (28/1), Look To The West (33/1), Theatre Native (33/1), A Penny A Hundred (66/1), Tareze (80/1), Iris Emery (80/1), Judicieuse Allen (80/1), Paggane (100/1)

Verdict

Ten of the 18 set to go to post represent the Willie Mullins yard and CUTA DES AS could be the pick of them, for all that she's not the pick of Paul Townend. Cuta Des As achieved a pretty strong level of form in bumpers last season and her hurdles debut success at Punchestown was pretty much faultless. Townend opts to ride Jade de Grugy, who landed a Grade 3 here in January before running well at the Cheltenham Festival. Jetara and Fun Fun Fun are others to consider.
