Forecasts

Curlew Hill (7/4), Ruaille Buaille (3/1), Crobally Boy (4/1), Helpisontheway (9/2), I Don't Get It (10/1), Foilnamban (16/1), Favours Pay (28/1), Sumtinboutporter (33/1), Where's Bunny (125/1), Often In My Mind (150/1)

Looks a straight head-to-head between leading trainers Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott. RUAILLE BUAILLE ran well in defeat on debut in a 6k bumper at this venue when last seen in June 2019 and positives must be taken with the timing of the reappearance, running back at this track and the mount of Patrick Mullins. Curlew Hill for trainer/jockey combination of Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd should improve on recent effort at Tipperary last month, while the J J Hanlon-trained Crobally Boy ran with a great deal of credit on debut at Kilbeggan last month and can be considered a big danger in this contest. I Don't Get it for trainer Neill McCluskey can give a good account.
