The race could be decided from the front here with the Gigginstown pair Caliption and Narcissistic up with the early pace along with stable debutante GIANT SPIRIT who makes his first appearance for Willie Mullins since joining from Sandra Hughes. The potential improver Mount Hanover for Henry De Bromhead can make the frame following two solid efforts this season.
- Giant Spirit
- Caliption
- Mount Hanover
