Willie Mullins has a strong hand here with Irish Cesarewitch winner LAWS OF SPIN reappearing with Ryan Moore on board and Whiteout gaining an impressive victory on her return to the Flat over the track and trip in May. The pair are difficult to separate but the former just gets the nod to complete a four-timer despite a long absence. Pyromaniac has been chasing but his close second to stable companion Quick Jack over 1m6f at Leopardstown in September puts him in the frame while Zafayan, who needed the run behind Whiteout, showed the benefit with a much improved effort here last month. The latter's yard is also represented by Three Kingdoms, who has managed to win seven times on the Flat and over jumps and looks well handicapped if ready after a break.
