20/1

Gelding by Arakan out of a Idris mare. Dam was a 110-rated chaser compared to 115-rated hurdler. Struggling three out on debut at this venue last month when finishing 31L adrift of Above The City and needs a sizable improvement to mix it here.

Pushkin gelding who is a half-brother to Myztique who was a bumper winner. His dam is an unraced sister to Dun Doire. Generally, well beaten in a couple of career starts so far despite fancy finishing positions. Notable jockey booking.

Forecasts

Pencreek (13/8), Shanwalla (11/4), Druim Samhraidh (4/1), Tuatha De Dannan (4/1), Arrycan (20/1), Singirishmansing (20/1), My Red Devil Girl (33/1)

Poor turn out for the finale' where trainer Willie Mullins had four initial entries in the contest. The trainer has sided with the six-year-old gelding, PENCREEK who can get off the mark at the first time of asking. Druim Samhraidh appears to be the obvious danger with jockey Jamie Codd in the plate, while consideration should be given to any market moves for Dubai Destination gelding, Shanwalla and the Joseph O'Brien debutante Tuatha De Dannan.
