Willie Mullins has been winning some major handicaps on the Flat and both entries here, Nessun Dorma and Legal Spin, are respected while Tony Martin's pair Melburnian and Upgraded, are weighted to run well especially the former who was only just touched off at Newmarket last time. Future Proof gained his only success to date on heavy going here and Halimi won comfortably at Naas last week though had earlier been 3l behind PEARL WARRIOR over this trip at Listowel. Johnny Murtagh's charge goes from strength to strength and Andrew Slattery's claim is another bonus so a four-timer looks on the cards.
