You Raised Me Up (11/10), Run For Oscar (2/1), Belfast Banter (9/2), Santana Plessis (6/1), My Uncas (10/1), Sheberghan (14/1), Insignia Of Rank (18/1), Centurion Steel (22/1), Golden Zero (50/1), Sonny John (50/1), Kilnashane Star (50/1), Johanna Yeats (100/1), Art Of Swing (150/1), I'm No Stranger (200/1), Stealthy Tom (300/1), Rockaway Beach (300/1), Keep Off The Moors (300/1), Go Willie Joe (300/1)

YOU RAISED ME UP left his previous efforts in this sphere behind when third in a valuable handicap at Leopardstown in February and should prove hard to beat if anywhere near that level on his return. Run For Oscar is an interesting hurdling newcomer though, having shown useful form in bumpers and won on the Flat this summer. Belfast Banter will prove suited by a return to 2m and is also a threat.
