Race Tip

Willie Mullins has won this contest 14 times. Of his five entries LOVE SIGN D'AUNOU (9) makes most appeal in view of an outstanding 24L success over 2m2 1/2f at Naas on latest outing. Patrick Mullins is the leading rider in the race and his booking could prove significant. THE IRISH AVATAR (12) returned from a 337-day lay-off with a strong 9L success tackling a 2m Navan bumper most recently. Harry Cobden's engagement is intriguing. Makes appeal. KEEP HIM COMPANY (8) is yet to endure defeat from two starts and warrants serious consideration. THE MOURNE RAMBLER (13) cannot be ruled out with top-class Flat jockey Colin Keane returning from Dubai for this engagement.
