Trainer Willie Mullins has taken three of the last six renewals of this contest and his BALLYWARD can get the better of stablemate C'est Jersey in this intriguing contest. The Paul Nolan-trained Shawshank won two of his three point-to-point starts and could be capable of hitting the frame along with the J P McManus, owned/Joseph O'Brien, trained, Shady Operator.

- C'Est Jersey
