Formscan - Although without a winner in this contest since 2018, Willie Mullins could be set to taste glory again with REACHING HIGH. The five-year-old was just touched off on his stable bow at Leopardstown and was denied a clear run when favourite for the 2025 renewal. A year-long absence shouldn't be an issue and, granted better luck, compensation could be on the cards. Joseph O'Brien is enjoying a fantastic season, with Chester Cup seventh Puturhandstogether well worth a second look, while last year's Cesarewitch hero Beylerbeyi is expected to prove more competitive back up in distance. Irish raiders Westminster Moon, Bunting and Galileo Dame add further spice to the mix.
