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.
