Nos Na Gaoithe (9/4), Hidden Beauty (7/2), Flirtatious Girl (9/2), Nell's Bells (5/1), Mullenbeg (8/1), Mistral Nell (10/1), Tintern Abbey (18/1), Fairy Gem (20/1), Notnowlinda (28/1), Walk In The Storm (50/1), Chic Avenue (50/1), Betty's Belle (66/1)

Lots with chances. NELL'S BELLS pulled well clear at Carlisle last month so she gets the nod to continue the good run of the Donald McCain/Brian Hughes combination. Willie Mullins won this in 2020 and Nos Na Gaoithe has to be on the shortlist given the yard's excellent bumper record. Flirtatious Girl, already a winner at this level, Hidden Beauty and Mullenbeg are others to consider.
