Hard to get away from the chances of the Joseph O'Brien-trained, Winner Takes It All and BRONAGH'S BELLE representing Willie Mullins. Preference is for the latter who can be expected to improve on her second of nine at Sligo last month, while the former is likely to be the biggest danger in the opener. Alpha Mix and Ciao for the in form Gavin Cromwell yard can compete for the minor placings.
