Shayzann (15/8), Martinstown (9/4), Fleetfoot (5/2), Genuine Article (4/1), Cristal Clere (7/1), National Emblem (16/1)

MARTINSTOWN probably got bogged down in the mud at Naas but he's in expert hands and this low-mileage 4-y-o is taken to regain the winning thread. Genuine Article and Shayzann both look ready for this trip and are feared most.
