The Willie Mullins-trained TIGER TAP TAP appears to have been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark in this contest. The four-year-old has failed to live up to the early promise of his first couple of starts behind Sir Erec last winter. The Jukebox Jury gelding can emulate his stablemate Buildmeupbuttercup who landed last years renewal ahead of the Gordon Elliott-trained Festival D'ex who won his bumper in style when last seen in April. Fakir for trainer Joseph O'Brien and the J P McManus-owned Pure Genius can improve on their most recent starts to compete for the minor honours.
