Verdict

Willie Mullins may dominate this yet again. GAMEOFINCHES looked a really exciting prospect at Punchestown last month and gets a tentative vote over stablemates Copacabana, who created a strong impression when scoring on his debut in recent weeks, and Bambino Fever, who brings winning Graded form from the Dublin Racing Festival. Gordon Elliott has broken the Mullins stranglehold on this a couple of times in the last decade and his Navan listed winner Kalypso'chance looks best of the remainder.
