Willie Mullins has won four of the last six and has three entries. Ruby Walsh returns to action on board GETAREASON, a very easy maiden winner at Tramore, who would have completed a double at Listowel but for making a mess of the last. He can gain compensation though stable companions Calie Du Mesnil and Sapphire Lady, 1-2 in a novices' hurdle at Galway in August, look threats with preference just for the latter with Paul Townend likely to have had the pick. Air Supremacy took advantage of the selection's bad error at Listowel but is progressing nicely and should give another good account while none of the remaining trio, all winners of their last races, van be dismissed.
