Roc Dino
A wide open finale. Willie Mullins saddles five and his lightly-raced ex-French recruit ROC DINO appeals as a major improver now stepping into handicap company on his first go over this trip so edges the vote from stablemate Kel Histoire, who also looks primed to take a big step forward on his handicap debut. Karl des Tourelles reverts to this sphere after a spell chasing on a good mark and could also have a big say, while Andashan and East India Express look the pick of the home contingent.

French bumper scorer who landed Cork maiden on his debut for this yard in 2024. Has been brought along steadily this term, best effort when a staying-on fifth of 7 in Grade 3 at Gowran (2m) 27 days ago. Likely plenty more to come now stepping up in trip for his handicap debut.

Placed twice over hurdles in France (for Gabriel Leenders) and has shaped with plenty of promise after 10 months off when second in a pair of big-field 2m maidens at Fairyhouse and Thurles in January.
