Plenty of runners here but all eyes will be on Willie Mullins' import from France TERMINAL. The winner of three bumpers in the Provinces, he's from a powerful jumping family and this isn't the toughest of starts. Hawk Flight produced his best run to date when a close third to The Way We Were at Leopardstown and should go well while Hidden Future has been gradually improving and was only headed on the run-in by Rocky Wednesday at Leopardstown. Jack The Pirate was going well in bumpers and will be better for his opening run over timber at Wexford in November while Blue Shirt Lily ran much better than her finishing position suggests at this track last month as she was impeded on the run-in when in second place.
