Willie Mullins has two entered with Paul Townend choosing Antey over Et Dite. The former has been disappointing, failing to complete in three of seven starts over fences, though still looks to have the edge over the latter. CEDARWOOD ROAD won a Listed contest on just his third start over hurdles. He didn't jump well on his chasing debut but did much better behind The Big Getaway at Leopardstown with the remainder a long way behind. Momus, placed in eight of 13 starts over timber without winning makes his debut over fences while Knockmoylan was in the lead at this trip before fading over an extended 2m5f at Fairyhouse. Madison To Monroe, who cost £300,000 in 2017, has failed to hit the heights over hurdles and makes his chasing debut.
