Verdict

Willie and Patrick Mullins have combined to win this bumper twice since 2022 so the vote goes to RUN TED RUN, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Market Square shaped quite well on his debut at the Punchestown Festival in the spring and heads the dangers along with Sir Vinny and Dieux Diligence, who are closely matched on Punchestown form from last month. Point recruit Rond Point completes the shortlist.
