YOU have to start your Cesarewitch analysis with Willie Mullins. Not only has the perennial National Hunt champ won the last three renewals of the race, but he had the 1-2 in 2018 with Low Sun and Uradel, and he won it last year with his only runner, Great White Shark.

Mullins sets a bit of a conundrum this afternoon in fielding six, with the market and the booking of Ryan Moore telling you that M C Muldoon is the number one.
