This was confirmed by the rising 11-year-old's trainer, Willie Mullins, yesterday. The in-form Barry Geraghty, who had developed an excellent rapport with Florida Pearl, was expected to again take the ride.

But he has decided to go to Leopardstown on that afternoon and Mullins moved quickly to acquire the services of Walsh who is, of course, his stable jockey.
