Race preview

JOHNNY BLUE has joined Willie Mullins from Nicky Henderson this season and was only collared close home when runner-up over a similar trip at Punchestown last time. He faces four rivals that were successful on their latest start including Mickie Angel who scored in good style over this distance at Fairyhouse but now races off an 11lb higher mark. Collaborative has been raised a total of 15lb for two wins this year including over C&D, while Prophet's Corner showed stamina was his strong point when making all over 2m7f at Punchestown. Chosen Diamond is not the most reliable performer but showed his best side when successful over this trip at Fairyhouse.
