Henry de Bromhead has three entries with Rachael on board Walk Away, beaten three lengths by Maxxum at Tipperary in May before unseating her in the Cork Grand National three weeks ago. Lightly-raced for his age, he looks the best of his stable‘s entries though Willie Mullins looks to have the edge. Smart hurdler Ha D‘Or has not done quite as well as expected over fences but ADAMANTLY CHOSEN, the winner of his first two starts over the bigger obstacles, raced in very strong company last winter and can benefit from this drop in grade. Idas Boy, runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 on his second chase start, made a bad mistake when pulled up in the Florida Pearl here a year ago while Mars Harper did not stay three miles in the Munster National and this is more his trip.
