The Greek (9/4), Cirque Royal (3/1), Still Standing (10/3), Lahinch Three (10/3), Wild Shot (6/1), Our Dylan (12/1), Gallic Boy (12/1), Happaugue (18/1), Corbin (50/1), Shanylah (150/1), Weston Road (150/1), Kingoftheroses (150/1), Delikklemunchkin (150/1), Naomh Moling (200/1), Only For Jenny (200/1), Miala Araya (200/1)

THE GREEK has been knocking on the door and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account. Hurdling-newcomer Lahinch Three showed fairly useful winning form in bumpers so is feared most, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Still Standing has the form to play a big part too if hitting the ground running for his new handler.
