Quai De Bourbon (5/6), Blizzard Of Oz (9/2), Chapeau De Soleil (11/2), Ocastle Des Mottes (7/1), Western Diego (12/1), Chigorin (18/1), Cleatus Poolaw (28/1), Union Station (50/1), Black Bamboo (50/1), Lady Bresil (100/1), Beau Walking (125/1), Musta Lovea Lovea (200/1), Implicit (200/1), Spinning Web (250/1)

The five saddled by Willie Mullins are all promising novices, with QUAI DE BOURBON very much the pick of the quintet. A winner of three of his six starts over hurdles, he shaped well when a close third on his chase debut at Leopardstown, finishing just adrift of re-opposing stablemate Chapeau de Soleil, who rates the main danger. Chigorin's chase debut second at Fairyhouse was promising and he could be the pick of the non-Mullins-trained candidates.
