Verdict
One of two Willie Mullins-trained representatives in the line-up, AL ARRIVEE could prove hard to beat. The choice of Patrick Mullins, she is a half-sister to dual Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Al Boum Photo. While she met trouble in running when a beaten favourite on debut here last season, she has since opened her account in style at Sligo in June. Doctor Steinberg is the other Mullins contender and after an easy win at Ballinrobe in May, it won't come as a huge surprise if he makes a race of it with his stable companion. A well-backed winner at Killarney in August last year, it'll be interesting to see how Murat fares, while UK raider American Empire and the Emmet Mullins-trained Minella Emperor are others to keep on side.
Expert View Verdict
A strong bumper which could be dominated by Willie Mullins. Al Arrivee is the stable first string on jockey bookings following an impressive win last time but it is DOCTOR STEINBERG who is marginally preferred. He never came off the bridle last time and has shown significant improvement on each start so far. Murat overcame keenness when a ready winner on debut and could provide the biggest challenge to that pair.
