Willie Mullins is well and truly back - and this exciting juvenile looks big at 12-1 for Cheltenham

The Willie Mullins dip in form didn't last long. It's been business as usual ever since State Man's disappointing Leopardstown effort thanks to 11 winners, including a Grade 2 and two Grade 3s.

Ile Atlantique was the Grade 2 winner at Naas on Sunday in the Racing Post Novice Chase, and he did it effortlessly, beating a good yardstick in Firefox without coming off the bridle. 

He is now a top-priced 8-1 for the Arkle but that doesn't hold much appeal for three reasons. First, his form did tail off noticeably last spring. Second, stablemate Majborough might be even better. And third, Sir Gino is probably better than both of them.
