FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Apple's Jade attempted to win this race for a fourth year in-a-row back in 2019, but her reign was ended by HONEYSUCKLE, who has of course gone on to dominate herself. A perfect 17 from 17, with 12 of her wins coming at the highest level, it's very difficult to oppose the pride of Knockeen as she bids to become the first four-time winner of this race. Klassical Dream has triumphed six-times at Grade 1 level and tries this trip for the first time. Sent off favourite for the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, he finished fifth there before winning the Punchestown equivalent. He rounded off his campaign by filling the runner-up spot at Auteuil in May and on a mark of 163, he is rated just two pounds inferior to the selection. Willie Mullins trains Klassical Dream and he is also represented by Saldier and Echoes In Rain. Both have been beaten by Honeysuckle in the past and it's difficult to see them reversing the form. Darver Star got within half-a-length of the wonder mare at Leopardstown in February of 2020 and the likeable ten-year-old has been in excellent form in recent months, winning his last three.
