Selected odds by:

At The Wings^t1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁵⁾| T: N Lee

18/1

100/1, showed a bit more than on debut when eighth of 14 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. One for the longer term.

Form: 58

Bonnebosq^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J P Sampson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

7/2

Seemingly showed improved form when second of 14 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good to soft, 28/1) 23 days ago. Every chance he can go one better, but does have a Willie Mullins newcomer to worry about.

Form: P-65942

High Court Cave²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly

2/1

Lightly-raced winner in points and made a reasonably encouraging debut in this sphere when fourth of 14 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 23 days ago.

Form: 4F-14

Mount Mandela²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

15/2

Made the frame on sole outing in points. 16/1, ran to just a poor level when seventh of 14 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago.

Form: U-47

Cool Brise

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

7/4

Kapgarde filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair 3m hurdle winner Walk In The Brise. Dam (h109), maiden hurdler, half-sister to very smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Vroum Vroum Mag. From a top yard and makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Santa Paula¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr J P Sutton⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin

100/1

Offered little when twelfth of 13 in bumper (16/1) at Wexford (16f, good to soft) on debut 2 weeks ago.

Form: 0

Truly Elegant¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr J C Barry| T: G Keane

14/1

Fell on sole outing in points but offered something to work on when fifth of 13 in bumper at Roscommon (15.4f, soft, 20/1) on NH debut 15 days ago.

Form: F-5

Forecasts

Cool Brise (7/4), High Court Cave (2/1), Bonnebosq (7/2), Mount Mandela (15/2), Truly Elegant (14/1), At The Wings (18/1), Santa Paula (100/1)

Willie Mullins has a fine record in this race and having taken it with a newcomer last year, he can repeat the feat with COOL BRISE. The obvious threat is Bonnebosq, who stuck to his task well when runner-up at Galway just over 3 weeks ago. High Court Cave can edge out Truly Elegant for the bronze medal.
