Willie Mullins has five entries, as does Joseph O'Brien. The former's best chance may lie with My Sister Sarah, a dual winner over timber before finding 2m1f too short at Cheltenham. Choungaya looks Joseph's best chance after he fell when holding every chance at Punchestown, though The Gunner Murphy can go well as though he's still a maiden his recent close third over 2m4f on this track suggested he'd be ideally suited by today's trip. Ronald Pump has plenty going for him as he has won over the course and distance though he's been hit with a 13lb rise for his victory at Cork. Defi Bleu ran a superb race in the Martin Pipe but a very tough race to call can go to INVINCIBLE CAVE, who was racing over this trip for the first time in a Thurles maiden in February and turned it into a procession. Fred The Foot was engaged in the 3.15 here yesterday.
