Mack Attack is comfortably the pick of those with experience having chased home Born To Be at Cork at the beginning of the month and Ger Lyons' colt sets the standard. Willie Mullins doesn't have many two-year-olds and the booking of Pat Smullen for Shoulda Lied, a half-brother to six winners, is significant. Jim Bolger has his horses in outstanding form and has two entries here. ZORION is the pick of Kevin Manning and the close relative of three winners is handed the vote over stable companion Muinineach, a half-sister to a winning miler.
