Gordon Elliott has six entries headed at the weights by Beacon Edge, placed in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 in April and a winner at Thurles on his reappearance from the useful Cash Back. Carl Millar reduces his weight by 7lb and a big run is expected. Jack Kennedy is on board Will Do, who make his handicap debut after a couple of comfortable victories in maiden and novice company and he doesn't look badly treated. ESPANITO BELLO won the Leinster National at Naas in March and is rated 150 over fences. He reappeared with a convincing victory over timber there and, though 9lb higher, is still 13lb below his chase mark so gets the vote. Willie Mullins doesn't have many running from the bottom of a handicap so four-times hurdles winner We'llhavewan is respected along with Canal End, who caught the eye on his handicap debut at Galway.
