Exchange Rate (6/4), Causey Arch (7/1), Awayinthewest (7/1), Minella Times (15/2), Calie Du Mesnil (8/1), Eamon High (8/1), Boot Camp (10/1), Sapphire Lady (14/1), Awbeg Prince (25/1)
Willie Mullins holds a strong hand here with a quartet of runners and cases can be made for most of them. Exchange Rate unshipped Ruby Walsh here at the first flight earlier in the week having gone off favourite and will be out to make amends while Sapphire Lady is already proving versatile and should have more to offer but perhaps so too will CALIE DU MESNIL. The French import won at Tipperary on debut for the yard and should be plenty fitter here. Causey Arch will needs to improve in the jumping department. Awbeg Prince won at Ballinrobe in May and goes well fresh, he is another that may improve.
