Al Boum Photo (1/2), Tombstone (7/2), Arbre De Vie (10/1), Tout Est Permis (11/1), Dounikos (14/1), Inis Meain (33/1)

It looks a Willie Mullins/Gordon Elliott head-to-head here with the trainers saddling four of the six runners between them. Dounikos likes to get on with things from the front and he can give TOMBSTONE a decent toe in to the race following his defection from a Grade 1 Leopardstown contest on Friday. Al Boum Photo was impressive enough on chasing debut and will have to improve again to be the biggest danger to the selection.
