Dicosimo (6/4), Art Of Payroll (11/4), Just Cause (7/2), Victory Mill (13/2), Moores Road (9/1), Macs Legend (12/1), Inis Meain (16/1), Hold Onto Your Hat (16/1), Micras (50/1), Uptake (50/1), The Canny Man (66/1), Mount Oliver (100/1)

For all that Dicosimo was a smart hurdler, jumping has never really been his forte. He has looked sketchy at times since going chasing and paid a hefty price when crashing out from the lead at Gowran Park a fortnight ago. For that reason he is overlooked now in favour of ART OF PAYROLL, who has displayed plenty of ability in his runs over fences so far and finished in behind some smart horses along the way. He comes here off a nice break and can open his account. Inis Meain is another that should be off the mark in this sphere sooner rather than later while Victory Mill and Hold Onto Your Hat look the most likely to shine amongst the fencing newcomers.
