13-strong field in Wednesday's Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup

Graham Wylie's high-class trio of chasers are all engaged among a 13-strong field in Wednesday's Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup.

Trainer Willie Mullins could yet run all three with narrow and controversial Cheltenham Gold Cup second On His Own, Melling Chase winner Boston Bob and Prince De Beauchene all in the Festival highlight.

As expected, Nicky Henderson has entered last year's runner-up Long Run, rather than Bobs Worth, with Robert Waley-Cohen's star emerging unscathed from his fall in the Grand National.

The other British entry is the Alan King-trained Medermit with First Lieutenant and Lyreen Legend the best of the rest.

Henderson has entered his impressive Sefton Novices' Hurdle winner Beat That in the Grade One Irish Daily Mirror Novice Hurdle, which also includes Mullins' Cheltenham Festival winners Vautour, Faugheen and Don Polli as well as useful stablemate Valseur Lido.
