Who is entered for the Supreme, Ballymore, Triumph and Albert Bartlett?

Facile Vega will have the option of the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle after Willie Mullins entered his star six-year-old for both novice highlights. 

Last season's Champion Bumper winner was workmanlike in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown over Christmas and is a general 4-5 to give Mullins his eighth win in the festival opener. 

His main ante-post rival, the Barry Connell-trained Marine Nationale, was a last-gasp winner of the Royal Bond in December and also holds an entry. 

Tolworth winner Tahmuras will bid to end Paul Nicholls' 12-year wait for a Supreme winner, while Britain's other big contender Rare Edition remains on course for the curtain raiser.  

Impaire Et Passe, like stablemates Facile Vega and Gaelic Warrior, will have the option of the Supreme and Ballymore. A debut winner over 2m3f, he showed his speed over the Supreme trip at Punchestown this month and his destination remains unknown. 

Ante-post favourite Hermes Allen, an impressive winner of the Challow Hurdle on New Year’s Eve for Paul Nicholls, will hope to buck the trend of beaten Challow winners in the Ballymore, while Champ Kiely and Good Land are other notable entries from Ireland.

In the Triumph Hurdle, Lossiemouth and Blood Destiny are on course for a Closutton showdown in the Friday opener. 

Both horses have been impressive in winning two starts since joining Mullins from France, although Lossiemouth has done her winning at Graded level. 

The British entries are headed by the Gary Moore-trained Jupiter Du Gite, a shock 66-1 winner at Newbury in December. Scriptwriter is unbeaten in three starts since joining Milton Harris from Aidan O’Brien and the 104-rated Flat performer gives Britain another leading challenger. 

Ante-post fancies Hiddenvalley Lake, Embassy Gardens and Sandor Clegane hold entries in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, where Group 1-winning Flat performer Princess Zoe was a surprise entry for Tony Mullins. 

The eight-year-old was last seen at Longchamp in October finishing fourth in the Prix Royal-Oak and is yet to make her hurdling debut.

There were 67 entries for the Supreme, up from 61 last season, and 97 for the Ballymore, up from 95. Those races feature a number of double-entries, however. 

In the Triumph, a total of 59 entries is the same number as last year, while the 77 entries for the Albert Bartlett is 25 more than last season.
