Bringsty (4/1), Summer Snow (5/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (5/1), Rampage (7/1), Breathe Again (15/2), Unterberg (11/1), Hasten Slowly (12/1), Barretstown (12/1), Skontonovski (14/1), Stiorra (16/1), Newfire (18/1), Captain Ciano (20/1), Out On Friday (20/1), Morning Approach (20/1), Numidia (22/1), Timeonourside (22/1), Mastastroque (25/1), Uncle Albert (28/1), The Bog Bank (33/1), Pauline's Dream (50/1)

The vote goes to GALLO DELL CIELO, who is 16 lb higher compared to when opening his account here in October but he has continued to progrss on the all-weather since and will have every chance if handling conditions (unraced on ground faster than good). There were positives to take from Summer Snow's recent reappearance at Navan and she is next on the list ahead of Hasten Slowly and Rampage.
