Great Field (9/10), Ball D'Arc (11/2), Ordinary World (7/1), Ballyoisin (7/1), Townshend (8/1), Listen Dear (16/1), Powersbomb (20/1), A Toi Phil (20/1), Baily Cloud (20/1)

GREAT FIELD absolutely annihilated his rivals at Thurles last month, and that form has since been franked by runner-up Hurricane Ben who returns himself earlier on the card. He's hard to oppose here, with Arkle third Ordinary World perhaps his main rival, although Powersbomb shaped very well at Cheltenham, and will appreciate a strong pace at this trip.
