Energumene (5/6), Franco De Port (5/1), Darver Star (8/1), Felix Desjy (9/1), Unexcepted (10/1), Captain Guinness (10/1), Blackbow (40/1), Embittered (40/1), I'm A Game Changer (200/1)

Douvan and Un De Sceaux feature on the recent roll of honour in this for the Willie Mullins yard and ENERGUMENE could well be of a similar calibre based on the way he took care of Captain Guinness at Naas last month. His stablemates Unexcepted and Franco de Port, who won a Grade 1 here over Christmas, can battle it out for minor honours.
