Mr Hollywood declared in Friday's McCoy hurdle over 2m4f - which wasn't priced up anywhere as far as I could see 🙃 - and not in the 3m Cheltenham race on Saturday, which he had been 8-11 for.
Cheltenham ground good, good to firm in places ahead of Friday's racing.
122 entries. Willie could send a couple including Mr Hollywood.
Have a big soft spot for Mets Ta Ceinture.
"I'm really excited about her and she's schooled nicely over hurdles."

'One run over hurdles for us but he already looks like developing into a graded novice chaser.'
Harry's ten to follow + a 40-1 Cheltenham steer.

Willie Mullins on Even Tho/@Timeform
"I’d say she’d be near top of the pile - if not top of the pile - of the mares’ novice hurdlers this year.
"Hopefully we see her in November."
Quote might be from before Witches Familiar's last run... either way, be fun with both of them!
Even Tho is a fine winner of the Grade 3 finale under @JodyT97 for that man Willie Mullins @punchestownrace
Looks like St Leger winner Saffie Osborne has lost the ride on Highwayman in the Long Distance Cup - with Dylan Browne McMonagle set to be back in action.
Final Demand has been disqualified from the Brown Advisory and Willie Mullins fined £1,100 after the horse ran with a prohibited substance.
Mullins admitted both charges.

"King Rasko Grey can make his mark over fences this year. He could go down the Arkle route."
David Casey/@BoyleSports
With an update on Lossiemouth too.
And an interesting quote about the Champion Hurdle: "I am not certain we would have another outstanding candidate coming through."

'I like him going chasing. I think he can be very, very good.'
