Verdict

Willie Mullins saddles five as he goes in search of a sixth win in this since 2012 and ACAPELLA BOURGEOIS is taken to make light of top weight on the back of an encouraging reappearance behind the yard's dual Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo. Stablemate Brahma Bull is interesting now tackling a handicap for the first time. Any Second Now and first-time blinkered Coko Beach are also on the shortlist.

  1. ACAPELLA BOURGEOIS (FR)
  2. BRAHMA BULL (IRE)
  3. ANY SECOND NOW (IRE)
