Willie Mullins won this last year with Angela's Lashes and it will be a surprise if he isn't successful again with APT MANOR, a close runner-up behind Natural High at the Galway Festival last year and occupying the same position behind Fort Defiance on her only subsequent start at the same meeting last month. That form is way ahead of anything achieved by these rivals with winning point-to-pointer Quenzo Pierji, a good second to Battling Boru at Wexford, and Dancing Bird, who didn't run badly behind Har Will at Limerick, likely to occupy the places.
