2:50 Sa Majeste (6/1) might be the first handicap winner for Willie Mullins at the Cheltenham Festival. He could have got in very lightly by the handicapper at 140 after winning last time up at Limerick.
If he has, as I suspect, with question marks over the likes of last years winner Langer Dan, the 6/1 on offer might look pretty big on the home turn.
Π Going: Heavy (soft in places).
