Virgilio (2/1), Winter Lion (11/4), Another Hero (11/4), Ballyalton (10/3), Knockgraffon (8/1), Monbeg River (16/1), Colms Dream (16/1), Bearly Legal (20/1)
Another Hero ran well on his return at Cheltenham last time out and should go well even though he's gone up a fair bit in the weights, but BALLYALTON is surely capable of winning another race, having gone a couple of years since last getting his head in front. His effort at the Cheltenham Festival two starts ago in particular would give him an excellent chance of going very well off the same mark. If none the worse for falling in the Grand National last time out, Virgilio is another with claims.
