A thrilling renewal of this Grade 1 featuring 6 for Mullins and a clash between the potentially top-class pair FINAL DEMAND and The New Lion. The latter was bought by JP McManus for an undisclosed sum after a most striking success in the Challow at Newbury, but it was a performance more about style than substance, whereas the former's wide-margin win at Leopardstown is very much supported by the timefigure, which sways the vote in his favour. The Yellow Clay is also worthy of plenty of respect.
