The selection was a last minute scratching from the Champion Closutton’s PONT AVEN makes some appeal in a first-time hood. Danny Mullins’ mount has been showing Chase at Cheltenham last year due to a stone bruise and is a hot favourite to make amends next month having up well in similar events, and if he had relaxed through the race he’d likely have finished off better than he did readily won both outings this season. Min won the previous two runnings of this race and, having gained a de- at Fairyhouse last month, when eventually second to Daly Tiger. Previous to that Pont Aven had been a big served Cheltenham Festival success in the Ryanair Chase last March, completed a hat-trick of wins in the 2m4f eye-catcher when fourth here at Christmas. Mullins’ nephew Emmet has a strong contender in Greatwood John Durkan Chase at Punchestown last time.
