A conundrum between owners J P McManus who has nine in the race and Susannah Ricci who has won this race on three occasions in the last six years. ECLAT DES MOTTES for Mrs Ricci and trainer Willie Mullins can take advantage of what looks like a handy mark to build on a solid handicap debut at Killarney last month and continue the fine record for the combination in this race. The five-year-old can see off his closest rivals, stablemate Great White Shark and the J P McManus-owned Hearts Are Trumps. The Noel Meade pair Cosmo's Moon and The Red Menace deserve special attention.
