Willie Mullins continues his dominance with five runners and it's SPINDLEBERRY who gets the nod having coped admirably with the marked step up in grade when finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse recently. Stablemate Got Glory had stacks in hand when winning her maiden last month so she's put forward as the main danger with significant progress expected, while Me Wee Bonnie Lass, Implicit and Casa No Mento are all also fancied to go well, too.
