Kalanisi Og (1/4), Equilibrium (7/2), Family Business (14/1), Joshsbar (50/1), Ciara's Treasure (66/1), Aurora Sunrise (66/1)

Could be a battle of the stablemates as the Willie Mullins pair go head-to-head as they battle to shed their maiden tag. Although jockey Paul Townend is on the mare, Equilibrium, preference is for KALANISI OG the mount of Patrick Mullins. The five-year-old ran well in defeat on hurdling debut finishing second of 10 beaten 4L behind Mount Ida at Galway late last month. Family Business in first-time hood and the Ross O'Sullivan-trained Ciara's Treasure can compete for remaining prize money.
