Just one win from five over jumps since joining champion trainer's yard, first outing on the Flat for this handler now and would be an almighty shock should he win this contest.

Won this a year ago, went out on his sword in surrendering Ascot Gold Cup to Big Orange latest, top-class stayer and is the one to beat here.

Lightly-raced 8yo made a mockery of a Galway Festival handicap over 1m6f latest, appears most likely of the Mullins trio in this but will have to up his game considerably if the others perform to their best.

Smart colt has been out of the money only twice in ten runs, almost certain to run his race and no shock if he picks up small money once again.

Shocked Order Of St George to win Irish Leger last year, though beaten on all four starts on the Flat since, including here last month over this trip when ½L second to Rekindling.

The youngster in the line-up, he's been dining at top tables this year and - bar the Derby - run very well. Group 3 winner over this C&D latest and can pick up the pieces if Order Of St George falters.

Former Ascot Gold Cup winner Order Of St George is not averse to being turned over at a short price, but he is the standout in this line-up and it will be a surprise if he fails to collect. He met a stubborn opponent at Ascot in Big Orange, but lost very little in defeat there and, on all known form, holds these rivals. Rekindling, the only 3yo in this field, is next best on form and would still have plenty scope to do better. Winner over C&D last month when beating Wicklow Brave, he looks best of the remainder. Renneti is full of confidence after his Galway win and an interesting contender but may have plenty on to finish ahead of the consistent Twilight Payment.
