Despite having to focus some of his attention on the run-in to British National Hunt season, Willie Mullins has built a team of such depth, there will be no noticeable weakness at Punchestown, a festival which he has made his own and will likely continue to do so into the foreseeable future.

Grade one performers may be sent on their travels, but there is an abundance of them heading the familiar route to the Kildare venue, and chief amongst them are dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs and Champion Hurdler State Man.
