EasyFix Equine Handicap Chase (Grade B)
2m 165y
Going: Good to Yielding
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneA case can be made for all 12 runners, with top-weight Fan De Blues a good starting point. The Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old has won his last two and claimed a similar contest in convincing fashion at Cork on his most recent start. It'll come as no surprise if he manages to complete the hat-trick now. Mullins is also represented by another leading contender in the shape of Mt Leinster, who was successful over the course and distance on his penultimate start. Henry de Bromhead saddles Epson Du Houx, Dancing On My Own and Magic Daze, with Rachael Blackmore opting to partner the latter. A winner at the Punchestown Festival in April, she was disappointingly beaten into second on her return to action at Clonmel but was probably in need of that run. For a selection, CAYD BOY gets the nod. Placed on his three starts to date over the larger obstacles, he dips his toe into handicap company now and looks reasonably well treated on a mark of 135. Grange Walk, second in this Grade B contes
