The Willie Mullins-trained Poker D'ainay is sure to be popular given the form of the yard but the five-year-old may face stiff opposition from the Gordon Elliott-trained, MONITION in first-time blinkers. The yard have a strong record at this meeting in the last four years and the Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding can see off the attentions of stablemate, Everybreathyoutake and Wexford fourth, Black Market on debut for trainer Patrick Griffin.
