Galileo Dame (6/4), Forceonmyown (7/2), Crystal Gold (9/2), Not Negotiable (11/2), Champagne Venture (8/1), Changeyourstars (10/1), Belladona Princess (16/1), Clody Diamond (20/1), Doing It In Style (28/1), Its All Yellow (50/1), Ina Mina (66/1), Shallow Bowles (80/1), Dixies Girl (80/1), Nothing Da Now (100/1), Cry Before Dawn (125/1), Toor Idaho (125/1), Shuil Swift (150/1), Beara Beauty (150/1), Loughrask Jet (200/1), Supreme Axel (300/1), Madam Elle (300/1)

Lengthy absences are not usually a barrier to success for those trained by Willie Mullins and NOT NEGOTIABLE may prove equal to this task following a 20-month hiatus. She did the job well when landing the odds in a bumper in April 2024 and falls squarely into the 'could be anything' category. Also a bumper winner when last seen, Forceonmyown is next on the list ahead of Galileo Dame, who sets a good standard but it's a worry that she's been out of sorts on the Flat in recent months.
