Neptune looks certain to be suited by this trip after staying on over 2m at Navan while Air Gold had a run over hurdles at Punchestown which should have brought him on. All For Joy, a winning point-to-pointer, will make a bold bid from the front though hasn't been seen since April and Cenotice has shown enough in his two starts to suggest he can get into contention. Up'n'over has a nice pedigree for jumping and is one to note for the future while Willie Mullins has won this for the past two years so K'chou Du Pecos Aa is obviously one to keep an eye on and he cost €140,000. RUSSIAN DIAMOND has plenty of winners in his pedigree and the booking of Derek O'Connor catches the eye so a chance is taken that he can make a successful start, especially if the market speaks in his favour.
