Willie Mullins has captured this prize in four of the past five runnings and his ASTERION FORLONGE is fancied to add to his superb record now going into handicaps on the back of some excellent placed efforts. Dostal Phil is still on the up and looks the one to give him most to do, although Fan de Blues, a stable-companion of the selection, is another who can make his presence felt.
