Willie Mullins has three runners from eight at the four-day stage. Kilcruit came good in a maiden at Punchestown in January and finished second in the Champion Bumper here last year. Bring On The Night could be anything having won at Navan on his debut for the yard last month but Dysart Dynamo looks the pick of the trio as he is unbeaten after four career starts and won a Grade 2 at Punchestown last time in the style of a very smart performer. Nicky Henderson’s duo spearhead a strong home defence with JONBON likely to offer more value than Constitution Hill. The latter easily landed the Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown last time, with Shallwehaveonemore a well-beaten fourth, but that form has been devalued since and his stablemate is also unbeaten over hurdles, winning a couple of Grade 2 contests in a canter since beating the useful Good Risk At All on debut. Aidan Coleman's mount has shown he can quicken off a strong pace so gets the nod.
