The sixth of Willie Mullins’ horses in this race is Authorized Art, who finished fourth of seven in the Grade One Guinness Faugheen Novice Chase at Limerick in December behind the likes of Adamantly Chosen and Gerri Colombe. Off 104 days since.
Had won three straight chases at Limerick, Killarney and Tipperary before fourth in the Drinmore here in December behind winner and favourite for this contest Mighty Potter. Arrives here fresh and could run a good race for Mullins, although it would be a surprise if he was to win this race.
