That's A Wrap (right)

Tom Mullins is mob-handed in the Coral.ie Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.
Leading the charge is That's A Wrap who bids for a fourth successive win having completed his hat-trick with a last-gasp victory over this course and distance at the Christmas Festival.
Mullins said: "Things didn't work out for Ruby (Walsh) the last day but he still managed to win so maybe he has a few pounds up his sleeve. He's a very good horse but he's creeping up the handicap.
"He has a nice weight (10st 5lb) but he is definitely a chaser. He'll be over fences next year so whether that will allow him to win a top handicap hurdle or not, I don't know.
"I love the horse anyway and he's a nice horse to have."
Mullins is also represented by Sir Scorpion Grand Partner and bottom-weight Top Othe Ra
He added: "Sir Scorpion was brought down at the last in Fairyhouse the last day, but he was fine afterwards and never missed a beat.
"He's in good order and may even improve a bit. He's at that end of the handicap where he'd have a chance.
"Grand Partner went lame after he won at Leopardstown last summer, a few vets looked at him and we couldn't find out exactly what the problem was.
"All we did was rest him and we've been getting him ready since. We decided to wait for this race as he's at the right end of the handicap.
"I feel there is a good handicap in Top Othe Ra as well."
