Willie Mullins has saddled six of the last seven winners of this and RISK BELLE is taken to enhance that already impressive record. She looked an improved model when making a winning reappearance in a Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse and probably has more to offer given her age and low mileage. The 4-y-o certainly won't have things all her own way, though, particularly if Telmesomethinggirl is anywhere near her best back hurdling. The latter's stablemate Magical Zoe also merits respect.
