An unraced four-year-old trained by Willie Mullins has slipped into the closing bumper (7.35) at Punchestown on Tuesday as a first reserve and been heavily backed.
It is yet to be confirmed who will take the ride on the Ballylinch Stud-owned
Glowing Account, who has tumbled into a general 2-1 shot (from 7) since his place in the race was finalised.
Glowing Account s stablemate Hara Kiri, who was favourite until this morning s market move, has Patrick Mullins aboard but will need to settle better than when finishing third at Gowran Park in January.
Elsewhere, the money is coming for Allaho before his clash with stablemate Chacun Pour Soi in today s William Hill Champion Chase (5.25) at Punchestown.
Chacun Pour Soi back to brilliant best at Punchestown for Townend and Mullins

Stardom, Rachael Blackmore once suggested, was a status best reserved for Beyonce, not her. Even after scripting a real-life
National Velvet, as the first female jockey to win the world’s greatest steeplechase, she has resisted trumpeting herself as a trailblazer. But her admirers across an Irish racing community still absorbing her feat are not quite so coy.

From hard-luck stories to great spins that were cut short, read what the beaten riders had to say after the Aintree spectacular on Saturday.
Aidan Coleman, Balko Des Flos (2nd)
“I couldn’t be happier with him. He was super. He jumped brilliantly and travelled into it really well. He did everything right but just didn’t win. All credit to him.”
Mark Walsh, Any Second Now (3rd)
