This has been run three times and Willie Mullins has won them all. The champion trainer runs CARTER MCKAY here and the winning point-to-pointer and bumper has a fine pedigree for jumping. He was well beaten in championship bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring but this will be his game. Minellafordollars is bred to be a staying chaser so did particularly well to win a Navan bumper after his point-to-point victory and he'll relish the testing ground. Mortal won a Limerick bumper in March and was in need of his hurdling debut at Naas so he looks certain to do better while Rio Lobo was challenging for the lead on his debut in a Killarney maiden in May when coming to grief.
