Jockey bookings suggest that DOLCITA is the pick of Willie Mullins' duo and the four-year-old, who brings some useful form from France to the table, gets the nod in a race connections won with Laurina in 2017. Stablemate Equilibrium shaped nicely on her Rules debut in a Clonmel maiden hurdle, while Henry De Bromhead's pair of Telmesomethinggirl and Tune The Chello require respect, as the former was not far away when third at Fairyhouse last month.
Prediction : 1st Dolcita 2nd Telmesomethinggirl 3rd Equilibrium

LORD BORU is at his best over this distance as shown when third at Ballinrobe when last seen in May. Despite not having opened his account yet, he is capable of a bold showing from a workable mark here. Captain Cobajay was a faller over fences on his last run in this sphere and reverts to fences following a spin on the Flat at Dundalk last time. Knockraha Boss and Barna Venture both made the podium on their most recent outings and are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lord Boru 2nd Captain Cobajay 3rd Barna Venture

FIVE O'CLOCK looked a useful operator when in France and the half-brother to French Grade 3 winner Highway To Hell could make a winning start to life with Willie Mullins. Stablemate K'chou Du Pecos Aa returned from 322 days off the track to run nicely at Clonmel and has to be respected, while Allbarone and Ferocious both commanded hefty fees at the sales and could be better than they have shown on track so far.
Prediction : 1st Five OClock 2nd Kchou Du Pecos Aa 3rd Allbarone

ROMELLA was touched off by less than a length over 2m at Thurles last time but she was making up plenty of late ground and could quite feasibly take a 4lb rise in her stride and gain compensation now granted this stiffer test of stamina. Ask Heather was in the process of running a big race until falling two out at Fairyhouse last month and should be thereabouts if none the worse for that tumble, while the likes of Minx Tiara and Rebel Early are also respected on the back of some solid recent efforts.
Prediction : 1st Romella 2nd Ask Heather 3rd Rebel Early

Point winner TOKYO GETAWAY was touched off by less than a length on her handicap debut over hurdles at Punchestown two weeks ago and should be thereabouts in a first-time tongue-tie, if running to a similar level of form now debuting over fences. Alohamora was fourth behind the selection at Punchestown and is another chase debutant to bear in mind. Shakeytry should go well if building on his recent 2m2f Thurles third now upped in trip, while the likes of Riverdene and Three Is Company also merit consideration in an open heat.
Prediction : 1st Tokyo Getaway 2nd Shakeytry 3rd Alohamora

MR BOLT is the oldest in this field by quite some distance at the age of 14, but he ran a big race to finish third at Downpatrick in October and wouldn't need to improve much in order to land the spoils. The veteran might prove too strong for Highest Benefit, who was pulled up when last seen in April but previously scored at Clonmel in a competitive event. Lovely Carrig was poor last time but is fancied to bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Mr Bolt 2nd Highest Benefit 3rd Lovely Carrig

ONE DOWN showed potential when fourth on debut in an above-average Navan bumper four weeks ago and can put that experience to good use. A half-brother to The Game Changer and John's Spirit, he travelled well for a long way last time and should be all the wiser after those exertions. Fitness Du Sud is related to plenty of smart types in France and warrants obvious respect, while stablemate Little Blue Hero could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st One Down 2nd Fitness Du Sud 3rd Little Blue Hero
