With 14 of the 19 entries between them, Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott should theoretically have this between them. The former has 10 runners with the progressive Uradel likely to attract support after a very impressive victory in a Naas novices' event, though NESSUN DORMA ran well for a long way in very testing ground at Navan last month, his first start since June, and could be the one to beat. The lightly-raced Auteuil winner Destin D'ajonc could be the pick of the Elliott quartet though Morgan has been racing in strong company since a very impressive victory at Listowel. Joseph O'Brien has the top-rated pair but Landofhopeandglory has been chasing and Tigris River has been finding the ground too testing.
