Willie Mullins has five entries and none can be dismissed though the presence of Patrick on board DANI SALAMANCA suggests she could be the stable's number one and, in the context of this very tricky race, that's enough to hand her the vote. There are a few minor bumper winners in the line-up including Derek O'Connor's mount Pride Of The Braid, who won well at Wexford, while Down Royal winner Danielle's Journey looks best of Stuart Crawford's pair. Nina Carberry looks a significant booking for Osez Josephine while More Than Ever didn't run up to expectations at Wexford and is expected to do much better. The market should provide some clues to the chances of the remainder.
