Rebel Diamond (4/6), Last Encore (11/4), Jareth (11/1), Kodilicious (12/1), Elegante Lady (22/1), Therussiancomposer (25/1), Onemoredance (25/1), Kamkwahba (25/1), Wild Island (40/1), Drish Samphire (50/1), Arizona Robbins (100/1)

This can go to REBEL DIAMOND, who upped his game significantly when second at Leopardstown last month and may have more to offer yet. Last Encore and Kodilicious rate the principal dangers.
