First-time cheekpieces could be the key to the Willie Mullins-trained, FILS SPIRITUEL getting off the mark at the fourth time of asking for connections over hurdles. The mount of Paul Townend, the seven-year-old can hold off the attentions of stablemate, Lucky One, owned by Sullivan Bloodstock. The Mouse Morris-trained Foxy Jacks is a potential improver in the field while the Gordon Elliott pair, Last Minute Man and Desire De Joie the mount of Davy Russell can joust for minor honours.
