Willie Mullins has won the last two of these and looks to have another exciting prospect in PETIT MOUCHOIR. A winner between the flags in February, he made his debut under Rules in a very strong bumper at the Punchestown Festival in April but beat a huge field in the manner of a very smart performer. Lofgren made a bright start at Cork last month but didn't really improve at Naas earlier this month while On The Dry was beaten 16l into third on heavy going at Cork. Brog Deas Nua could sneak into a place after a couple of decent maiden runs and Gordon Elliott's winning point-to-pointer Polymath would pose a threat if getting a run from his reserve spot.
