Willie Mullins boasts a strong hand in his bid for a record-extending ninth victory in the Lawlor’s Of Naas Novice Hurdle.

The Closutton handler has not landed the Grade 1 – run over 2m4f and worth €59,000 to winning connections – since 2018, however, with principal rival Gordon Elliott dominating affairs in recent years.
