Epson Du Houx (1/1), Wolfofallstreets (9/2), Whereyounow (11/2), Encore Lui (11/1), Slippery Serpent (12/1), Whatucallher (12/1), Rocky Shores (12/1), Lean Araig (14/1), Ellipsism (16/1), Springfield Lodge (25/1), Charle Brune (28/1), Cash Me Outside (33/1), Broder (33/1), Sunset Sadie (40/1), Oscar Sam (50/1), Wild Desire (80/1), Ricky Langford (200/1)

A nasty fall was an anything-but-ideal debut over fences for EPSON DU HOUX at Wexford. but he had shown aptitude for the job and this is a much easier race. Assuming he's over that experience, he ought to take some beating, with Slippery Serpent a potential threat on debut over the larger obstacles.
