Willie Mullins has two entries with Patrick on board AIONE, who hasn't been seen since landing a point at Dromahane in May 2017 but will be ready for this. He should do better at this stage than the stable's newcomer Miss Punch, a half-sister to several winners. Man On The Run, another winner at Dromahane, is bred to be a staying chaser and is one for the future while the four-year-old Daphne Moon gets all the allowances and made a very encouraging debut at Naas a couple of weeks ago. Derek O'Connor's presence on The Road To Fame suggests his mount is expected to improve for a fair debut at Ballinrobe.
