Owners Gigginstown House Stud have the two most likely players in this contest. The Willie Mullins trained IN A SONNET (3) arrives off the back of a good win in a point to point last spring. Trainer has a formidable record in these contests and rates a major chance. SOUL ASYLUM (8) will be representing Gordon Elliott. Narrowly denied a point to point in November and well related is sure to be popular. LUIDGI DU LUY (7) was third on debut. Switched to the shrewd stable of Emmet Mullins and warrants plenty of thought. BEGORRA MAN (1) has not been seen since finishing runner-up at Punchestown in February. One to note

Five-year-old gelding by Tunis out of Razia who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Capable of a cheeky run.
