Like A Demon (11/4), Backinthesaddle (9/2), All The Chimneys (7/1), Barrys Jack (7/1), Rock On Rosie (8/1), Killahara Castle (12/1), Eric The Third (14/1), Yaha Fizz (16/1), Lets High Five It (16/1), Along The Shore (16/1), Wither Hills (16/1), Last Garrison (16/1), Sweet Little Lies (20/1), Poormans Hill (20/1), Gold Not Silver (20/1), Jocular (25/1), Among The Stars (33/1), Carraig Aniar (33/1)
Like A Demon continues to threaten in this company and should once again run well while All The Chimneys comes here off a recent Fairyhouse win and will have his chance. The vote goes to GOLD NOT SILVER who has been respectable on the AW of late and is well able to grab a race like this back over jumps. Eric The Third ran a decent race at Leopardstown recently while Backinthesaddle is another one for the shortlist in a competitive contest.
1. Gold Not Silver
2. Like A Demon
3. All The Chimneys
