Willie Mullins has dominated this event in recent years and has six entered this year. Patrick partners Hook Up, a beaten favourite at Killarney in May, but he is likely to put up overweight and Foveros may also have to carry more than 11st. Jamie Codd has been booked for MY SISTER SARAH, a smart hurdler who won on her fourth start on the Flat at Limerick last month. She might be the one to be on though Coltor can probably be forgiven his run at The Curragh and Fin Maguire rode the winner of this 12 months ago. Derek O’Connor is on last year’s sixth De Name Escapes Me while a case can also be made for Run For Mary and Zoffanien.
