Willie Mullins is looking for an eighth consecutive victory in this race after six-time heroine Quevega, winner from 2009-14, and Glens Melody 12 months ago.

With Annie Power being withdrawn to have a crack at the Stan James Champion Hurdle, Vroum Vroum Mag is certain to go off a short-price favourite to continue the Mullins dominance of the mares' showpiece after he failed to win the first ever running in 2008.

Vroum Vroum Mag has won all her eight starts for the Mullins stable - the first six over fences and the last two over hurdles.

Mullins has also left in Gitane Du Berlais, but he took out his other possible Whiteout.

Flute Bowl will try to justify her supplementary fee having been added to the field at the confirmation stage by trainer Gary Moore.

Other runners include Bitofapuzzle, Keppols Queen, Polly Peachum, Aurore d'Estruval and Tara Point.
