Verdict

The Gold Cup winning colours of Al Boum Photo can be seen in the winners enclosure once again here carried by the French import BREAKEN who would have to improve on his Gallic form to win on Irish debut for the Willie Mullins yard. The Beneficial gelding Calicojack and the Jessica Harrington-trained Fiveallin could emerge as the biggest dangers, while World Stage can go well at a price.
