Tony Martin has four entries plus the first reserve. The consistent hurdler Golf Marin made a fair chasing debut on heavy ground at Tramore while Brookie has been going well over timber. Conna Cottage landed a Clonmel maiden hurdle before a decent run in a Leopardstown handicap and he has a chaser's pedigree but Willie Mullins looks to hold the key to the race. CHAVEZ won a bumper and a maiden hurdle at Ascot for Paul Nicholls before unseating his amateur rider at the first on his debut over fences at Down Royal. Paul Townend takes over and his mount gets the nod over Henn See, who made a winning start for the yard in a maiden hurdle at Limerick but made mistakes before falling two out on his chasing bow at Clonmel.
