Willie Mullins has five of the possible 12 runners in Sunday's Deloitte Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown.
Mullins has won the race for the past two years with Champagne Fever in 2013 and Vautour in 2014, who both went on to win the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.
The handler also has the exciting Alvisio Ville, who is owned by JP McManus and is second favourite for the Supreme with some bookmakers despite having had only one run over timber to date
Black Hercules, McKinley, Royal Bond winner Nichols Canyon and Sempre Medici complete the Mullins entry.
Mouse Morris' Alpha Des Obeaux was second to Mullins' Douvan, the clear favourite for the Supreme, on his last start and he remains a possible.
"He ran an absolute cracker the last day," said Morris.
"We've left him in just to see what is what, the owners will have a few others in the mix so we'll see.
"He's in at Clonmel (which is currently unraceable) on Thursday."
Tony Martin's Blair Perrone, the Dermot Weld duo of Silver Concorde and Windsor Park, the Sandra Hughes-trained Sub Lieutenant, Henry De Bromhead's Identity Thief and Gordon Elliott's Fort Smith complete the list.
