Our Bobby (5/2), Thehairyfella (4/1), Depeche Mo (6/1), Game And Glory (8/1), Must Be Dreaming (11/1), Kadys Dirha (12/1), Ballydangan (12/1), Man Of The House (14/1), Finnians Row (16/1), Lake Chad (16/1), Pearlofflorida (20/1), Three By Two (25/1), Copper Coast (33/1), Coastguard Lady (33/1), Malton Groove (40/1), Younowhatimean (40/1)

THEHAIRYFELLA caught the eye starting out for this yard at Punchestown last month and he makes plenty of appeal. The two to fill the places could be Our Bobby and Game And Glory, while Must Be Dreaming is also worth a second look.
