If Faugheen returned to the form that saw him win this race in 2015, he would surely go close to landing his ninth Grade 1 here, but with doubts about exactly how much ability the 10-year-old has retained after two below par efforts at Leopardstown, the most likely winner has to be BUVEUR D'AIR. Nicky Henderson's charge may not have beaten much so far this season, but the manner of his victories have been most convincing and he could be the first horse to win back-to-back renewals of the race since Hardy Eustace in 2004/2005. My Tent Or Yours and Elgin can fight it out for minor honours with the former narrowly preferred given his record at the course.
