FOLLOWING the Willie Mullins show at Cheltenham, the diary returns to less exalted action across the board in the UK and Ireland, although the Closutton maestro could still leave his mark in the feature race of the day, the Midlands Grand National Handicap Chase (Uttoxeter, 3.00).

As always this extended four-and-a-quarter-mile event is going to be a real deep stamina test and the Champion trainer has the quirky Mr Incredible entered, probably as a warm-up for the Aintree Grand National next month.

He ran a cracking race at Liverpool last year, going well until a leather broke after jumping the Canal Turn for the final time, and he is undoubtedly a player here if on a going day. However, he is not a reliable sort and I would much rather have a play on DOM OF MARY at around the 14/1 market.
