MAY CALL YOU BACK has thrived under the expert tutelage of Willie Mullins and is fancied to garner a fourth success now back chasing after a very good hurdling second here. Henry de Bromhead's Lady Rose Hackett shaped well when runner-up here on her first run in this sphere and rates a big threat though, while Sayitfirst, Itsalonglongroad and Polly Poppins all need factoring in too.
