Formscan - El Cairos can feature having finished a respectable fifth in the Grade 1 bumper at Cheltenham last month. Willie Mullins trained the winner of that contest and he is represented by GREEN SPLENDOUR, who gave a good account of himself in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown in February, when giving the impression this extra furlong would bring further improvement. The latter is taken to reverse Leopardstown running with Koktail Brut, while Joseph O'Brien sends Le Labo over from Ireland on the back of a winning debut at Thurles. Scope To Improve added to his point-to-point victory with a debut success under Rules at Naas, and Quaviste is worth noting for the Skelton yard.
