Jimmy Rabbitte (7/2), Hattaab (5/1), Pink Eyed Pedro (5/1), Tea Time Fred (6/1), Beneagles (6/1), Ballycross (9/1), More Buck's (10/1), Wilberdragon (12/1), Lord In Red (20/1), Mighty Leader (25/1)

A slightly perplexing event with quite a few of these having mixed hurdling with chasing of late. Recent C&D winner Tea Time Fred has to be considered despite the rise in the weights and if in the same sort of form should hold Wilberdragon even on the revised terms. Ballycross returned to form last time but can’t be relied on to repeat that and with doubts about other leading candidates like Lord In Red and Jimmy Rabbitte it may be best to rely on PINK EYED PEDRO who looks a versatile sort; acts well around here and can utilise his lower hurdles mark. The biggest danger may come from Hattaab a recent C&D winner who returns to handicaps still looking nicely weighted.
