Plenty of opposition for Willie Mullins' 14 entries

The entries for the Grade 1 Tattersalls Ireland 50th Derby Sale Novice Hurdle at next month's Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown number 26.

Willie Mullins has entered 14 horses, with Ballyburn and Mystical Power among them but there is no shortage of opposition.

Caldwell Potter and Farren Glory are engaged by Gordon Elliott with the likes of No Flies On Him, Boldog and Slade Steel in with a shout for trainers Edward O'Grady, Joseph O'Brien and Henry de Bromhead respectively.

No Flies On Him, which is owned by JP McManus, gave Edward O'Grady his first Grade One winner since 2011 when winning the TRI Equestrian Maiden Hurdle at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day.
