FormscanBy Donal Murphy - HELVIC DREAM would be a most deserving winner. A versatile performer, the Noel Meade-trained eight-year-old was controversially demoted to second after claiming the Galway Hurdle last month. Over four years on from his Group 1 success, the likeable bay still retains plenty of ability and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Off a mark of 91, handicap debutant Light As Air is sure to have plenty of supporters in first time blinkers, while the fellow Aidan O'Brien-trained London City is another that warrants the utmost respect. It'll be interesting to see if the fitting of cheekpieces have the desired effect on Lord Church, while Too Bossy For Us appears the pick of the Willie Mullins representatives. Winning two of the last four renewals, Jessica Harrington relies on Sea The Boss and she can't be discounted, while others for the shortlist are Happy Pharoah and Aeronautic.
