Aint Dunne Yet finished third behind Death Duty in the autumn and remains of interest having since run well enough at Punchestown, especially given the decision to drop back to two-miles now. Hickey's Rock has also gone well enough in two runs at Cork to suggest he'll have some say in the finish while Ned's Island has some scope to improve on last month's Navan debut over flights. The same can be said of WHITE LILAC, who finished second at Clonmel on debut and will handle the likely ground. Her trainer remains in solid form and with that piece of form in the book, she appeals as the most likely winner.
- White Lilac
- Aint Dunne Yet
- Hickey's Rock
