Race preview
Dylrow got the better of BILLAWAY (second), Edwulf (third), Val De Ferbet (fourth) and Coastal Tiep (fifth) on St Stephen's Day at Down Royal but it could be Willie Mullins' charge who comes out on top here. Like a lot of runners from the stable, he could well improve for that comeback run and Patrick Mullins now takes over the reigns from Noel McParlan. Edwulf got squeezed up at a crucial stage that day and can figure prominently in this event, with Jamie Codd catching the eye aboard Casey Jem, who makes his first appearance for the champion trainer.
