Race preview
This race is run in memory of the late Dr Brendan Doyle, who was a close friend of Willie Mullins. Winning the last three editions, the master of Closutton can continue his recent dominance with DROMARD. A French-bred son of Doctor Dino, he is from the family of Le Miracle, the winner of the Prix du Cadran in 2007, beating the mighty Yeats into third. Running his best race to date when a runner-up over flights at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, Reckless is the second choice. Clearly well fancied when 7/4 on debut, Pinndar failed to make an impact on that occasion and it'll be interesting to see how he fares today. A solid fifth when last seen at Limerick, Line Speed can't be discounted, while newcomers Double Dare and Daily Devotion are others who warrant respect.
