Willie and Patrick Mullins have won the last three of these and LIVELOVELAUGH can make it four. He made most for a very impressive victory on his debut between the flags at Oldcastle in April and will be difficult to beat. Okotoks changed hands for £95,000 after a very promising debut at Perth in May and Tony Martin will have him ready while Samantha Bellamy will have come on for a nice run at Limerick. Rock N Rhythm and Russian Bill have both done enough to suggest they can get competitive while there some nicely-bred newcomers involved so the market should be checked.
