Race preview
Willie Mullins has an excellent 41% strike rate at his local track and EPSWELL can improve that statistic here under Ruby Walsh. Pulled up at Galway last time after a previously successful debut at Sligo, any horse can be forgiven a poor run at Ballybrit and this son of Coastal Path can get back on track following a short break. Satoshi was fortunate to be awarded a controversial race at Punchestown last time but still ran reasonably well, while Leopardstown bumper scorer Sizing Pottsie should appreciate the addition of obstacles for Jessica Harrington.
