It's interesting that Jack Kennedy seemingly prefers MIGHTY BANDIT to his more-established stablemate Kala Conti. That filly can turn around recent Fairyhouse form with Nurburgring on 7 lb better terms and provide the chief threat. It'll also be fascinating to see what the betting makes of the 5 Willie Mullins runners, 4 of whom are starting out for the stable after coming over from France, Kargese possibly best of them.
