Passageway has joined Willie Mullins after a short-head defeat at Loughrea in October though he's joined here by four previous winners between the flags. The four-year-old Envious Editor won comfortably at Belharbour while Perpignan looked a nice prospect when scoring at Moig South last month. Minella Indo was well supported at Dromahane and had no problems landing a maiden point in convincing fashion. He's joined Henry De Bromhead and looks certain to go well though the vote goes to DLAURO. He started a short-priced favourite for his debut at Belharbour in February and his supporters never had a moment's concern after which he went for a massive £410,000 at the Cheltenham sales. Gordon Elliott's newcomers Major Mitchell and Multifactorial are worth a market check, especially the latter who is out of a very smart mare.
