This prize is likely to be heading back to Closutton with Willie Mullins saddling 3 with leading claims, not least SHANBALLY KID. The 5-y-o was purchased by top connections after an impressive all-the-way success in a Clonmel bumper back in April and with the runner-up having scored twice since (including over hurdles), he's put forward as the answer. Aime Desjy, the returning Feu du Bresil and Maidenstreetprince head up the dangers.
