The Insider (6/4), Common Practice (2/1), Aghaboy (5/2), Surac (17/2), Tory Reel (16/1), Bright Blue (40/1), Pont Audemer (40/1), Arch Enemy (66/1), Pepsiwithacap (66/1), Too Sharp (150/1), Papa Carlo (150/1), Circus Act (200/1), Easky Maid (300/1)

AGHABOY has taken well to hurdles and this looks a good opportunity for him to follow up his Ballinrobe success. The Insider is another who has created a good impression over hurdles and is the obvious threat as he bids for the hat-trick. Pont Audemer was a fairly-useful winner on the Flat in France so is a newcomer to note.
