Willie Mullins has a fine record in this and DENTO DES OBEAUX looks to have been found a winning opportunity on his debut for the yard. Once-raced in France, he has a stayer's pedigree so the trip and conditions should play to his strengths. Rakhine State has been a bit hit and miss so far and it was definitely the latter at Down Royal last time though that was his first start for a year and he will have come on for the run. The Long Mile was returning after a long break when well beaten over the minimum at Navan but was going on at the finish and can get into contention. The in-form Henry De Bromhead has two newcomers in the line-up and Robbie Power's presence on board Cappuccimix suggests the half-brother to three winners is the stable pick.
