The 14-year-old Bellgrove won this way back in 2018 and is one of eight course winners in the line-up. Henry De Bromhead has three entries, all with chances, and Rachael sticks with Tisadream, whom she rode to victory over hurdles here last summer. She was returning from a long break when 16 lengths behind MATER MATUTA here last month and should get closer to the winner, runner-up Inagh's Gift and the fourth Jack Holiday but the winner had plenty in hand and is taken to confirm the form. Withallduerespect and Eagle Moon both have very competent claimers on board which puts them in the frame while Good Bye Milan gained a surprise victory over timber at Wexford before just touched off at Limerick the next day and makes her chasing debut.
