Gordon Elliott has won three of the last four runnings of this race and has six entries here, the jockey bookings pointing to Tactical Affair and C&D winner Speculatrix being the most fancied, although Declan Lavery partnered the 25-1 winner last year and he rides Brennus Lescribaa here. Willie Mullins is represented by Predators Gold and Milo Lises, but a speculative vote goes to the filly ARUNTOTHEQUEEN, whose dam won a bumper here and comes from the in-form Harrington yard.
