Grangeclare Native (4/9), Great Bear (2/1), Fest Deiz (7/2), Guiri (9/2), Lignou (5/1), Ragnar Lodbrok (11/2), Make Good (7/1), Visionarian (7/1), Flash De Touzaine (16/1), Jubatus (20/1), Early Arrival (33/1), Mine Me Will He (33/1), See What Happens (40/1), Galypso Clermont (66/1), Hidden Marble (66/1), Footstepsinddesert (100/1), Boston Hill (125/1)

It says a fair bit that Gordon Elliott was prepared to pitch GRANGECLARE NATIVE into a Grade 2 on his hurdle debut and this Punchestown bumper winner is taken to leave the bare form of that effort behind and prove too strong for Great Bear, who was runner-up on both hurdle starts in the spring. Make Good may prove best of the rest.
