A serious case of quantity over quality in this opener with bumper-winner BUTCHER HOLLOW selected to go one better than on hurdling debut at Navan earlier in the month. Jade de Grugy is sure to be popular having joined Willie Mullins for €230,000 after winning a bumper in France back in October 2022 so she may emerge as the main danger, with Henry de Bromhead's pair Rosalys and Cobra Queen also fancied to feature.
