FormscanBy Gary Carson - Willie Mullins has a strong hand here with half of the six-runner field and Paul Townend sides with EASY GAME. The nine-year-old bids for a hat-trick in this race and has been kept fresh for this again having last been seen in October. He was in fine form back in the autumn and looks the one to beat again on his return. French Dynamite ran a fine race to finish fourth in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham last month and he looks a danger getting a few pounds from the selection. Janidil didn't have a great passage around in the Ryanair, eventually finishing seventh. He had been good when winning the Red Mills Chase prior to that and is a big player in this grade again.
