Good Man Turk (11/4), Crobally Boy (9/2), Chief Seattle (5/1), Back The West (5/1), Rudy Catrail (8/1), Garrai Phaidin (10/1), Humps And Bumps (11/1), Crimson Chief (14/1), Double Windsor (20/1), Local Rogue (22/1), Carlotalin (25/1), Born Famous (25/1), Three Loud Knocks (28/1), Greenway Machine (40/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (40/1), Daicheadacuig (66/1), Mount Callan (66/1)

BACK THE WEST comes here in excellent nick so is fancied to go one better than when a very good C&D second now nudged up just 1 lb. Crobally Boy is feared most on the back of his good Roscommon second, with Chief Seattle and Three Loud Knocks both weighted to have a say too in an open handicap chase.
