Funiculi Funicula (8/11), Wingmen (11/5), Ocastle Des Mottes (9/2), Mister Pink (40/1), Scalpnagoon (50/1), The Burrow (150/1), Major Wells (200/1)

Verdict

FUNICULI FUNICULA went down only narrowly at Gowran last time having been checked in his run late on and rates a confident choice to go one better for Willie Mullins. Wingmen can chase home the promising 6-y-o.
