Willie Mullins’ Bleu Berry will be popular here, and Dundalk maiden winner Joey Sasa is also likely to be involved. but both could face a strong challenge from LIGHT PILLAR, who was competitive at Listed level in France and justified favouritism on his seasonal debut. The Mullins’ second string, Law Girl, was disappointing on her return at Killarney while Toulson has plenty of experience on the Flat but ran poorly in a Curragh handicap last month.
