Kargese (10/11), Lovely Hurling (7/4), James's Gate (9/2), Kings Hill (25/1), Bottler'secret (50/1)

Willie Mullins has won this with some smart sorts in recent years and KARGESE is taken to build on her Cork chase debut second. Lovely Hurling is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding reappearing chase newcomer James's Gate.
