Willie Mullins has won the last four runnings of this and is strongly represented again. Last year's winner Whiteout has not been the same horse since and it is doubtful she will have improved enough to dispel her disappointing run 12 days ago. Karalee is the choice of Ruby Walsh having come through two educational races unscathed. If she is considered better than Augusta Kate she must be something very special indeed. Paul Townend's mount beat Let's Dance at Fairyhouse and that makes her the chief threat, on form, to APPLE'S JADE. The mare has won six of her ten starts including the David Nicholson at Cheltenham in March. Having beaten Vroum Vroum Mag twice this season she sets the clear standard.
