Plenty to consider, with Joseph O'Brien's improving four-year-olds Band of Outlaws and Gardens of Babylon respected, but a chance is taken on the quietly progressive HEARTS ARE TRUMPS, who comes in a little under the radar given connections, and he can go well for veteran handler Des McDonogh at a price. Shanning may be the pick of a strong challenge from the Willie Mullins yard which has won two of the last three runnings of this event.
