Forecast:

1.20 APPRECIATE IT (IRE); 4.50 METIER (IRE); 5.00 BALLYADAM (IRE); 6.00 SOARING GLORY (IRE); 8.00 BLUE LORD (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

No crowd, no roar and a unique Cheltenham Festival kicks off here, but there could be a familiar feel about the opener, with Willie Mullins fancied to win it for the fifth time in the last nine years courtesy of APPRECIATE IT. Last year's Champion Bumper runner-up hasn't put a foot wrong over hurdles so far this season, progressing from a Cork maiden to win a couple of Grade 1 events at Leopardstown, and he could pound his rivals into submission here. He was devastating at Christmas, if slightly more workmanlike last time, and with Paul Townend sure to make this a proper test from towards the front end, it will take a good one to get past him coming up the famous hill. Ballyadam and stablemate Blue Lord finished second and third respectively behind him at the Dublin Racing Festival and it could be a similar outcome today, with the best of the English, Metier and Soaring Glory, seemingly needing to up their game to be competitive.
