It would be a big surprise if Ruby Walsh does not take FABULOUS SAGA to the front here and make all on the favourite. The willie Mullins-trained five-year-old was runner-up over 2m4f at Listowel in June when second of ten and when runner-up in eight runner bumper at Tipperary last month. Masterson, Mother's Best and Sea Bank are best of the rest.
