UK RACE COMMENTARY2:50 Meetingofthewaters (7/1) looks booked to be Willie Mullins first handicap winner in 44 triers at the Cheltenham Festival.
His handicap mark of 147 looks quite generous if you take a look at his win in the 27 runner Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown in December.
A repeat of that run will put him in front today. Well, not if he runs wide all the way round. The way he finished I see him surging up the Cheltenham run to catch anything in front.
Π Going: Heavy (soft in places).
