Sire Du Berlais (7/4), Pravalaguna (11/4), Good Thyne Tara (6/1), Not Many Left (7/1), Poli Roi (7/1), Le Martalin (12/1), Kaiser Black (33/1), Rock De Baune (33/1), Arcenfete (50/1)

A race which with the exception of the Jessica Harrington trained Not Many Left appears to be within the grasp of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott. The former is represented by a pair of mares (Pravalaguna and Good Thyne Tara) who both receive a handy 7lb weight allowance. Previous 2m Punchestown form suggests Pravalaguna should have the edge, with retained rider Paul Townend sharing that opinion. SIRE DU BERLAIS is the pick of the Elliott trained pair, with the quirky Poli Roi sporting first time blinkers. Barry Geraghty elects to ride the selection in preference to Rock De Baune, with his Martin Pipe fourth to Blow By Blow setting the benchmark.
