Willie Mullins saddles five as he bids for a record-extending 15th success in this, with easy Naas winner LOVE SIGN D'AUNOU taken to come out on top under Patrick Mullins. Keep Him Company, the mount of Jack Kennedy from the Gordon Elliott quartet, is second choice ahead of Chris Gordon's listed scorer Bass Hunter and The Mourne Rambler. Quiryn, The Irish Avatar and Our Trigger are other Mullins runners who looked very promising when making winning bumper debuts.
