Although Dermot Weld has won the last three of these, three-year-olds have a poor record so Voleuse De Coeurs faces a very stiff task. Domination will like the trip and has been steadily dropping to a fair mark while Aughnacurraveel scored over hurdles at Tipperary last week and enters the fray on a good mark and in fine form. Leroy Parker ran well at the meeting a year ago but Knockcroghery's only victory on Turf was on very testing ground. Chill hasn't had much racing and the booking of Mark Enright is a plus while the battling One Cool Shabra will make a bold bid to lead all as he did at Bellewstown last time. However, a close fourth that day was MOVEABLE ASSET, who was having his first start for Willie Mullins and returning from a long absence. With that under his belt and the longer trip sure to suit he's taken to gain his first victory.
