Stonehall Jack (5/1), Mtada Supreme (7/1), Prosperity Square (9/1), Teds Island (10/1), James (11/1), Icantsay (12/1), Mr Boss Man (12/1), Courtncatcher (14/1), Tiger Sam (14/1), Cassells Rock (14/1), Fr Humphrey (14/1), Old Time Melody (16/1), Suas Sios (16/1), Some Drama (16/1), Kilcrea (16/1), Do Be Doin' (20/1)

MTADA SUPREME rather blotted the copybook when running out in the four-miler at the festival here last time, but he had been running an excellent race to that point and is given a chance to atone for his misbehaviour. Stonehall Jack is also deserving of a place near the head of the market as he looks to have more progress in him. Mr Boss Man has his chance back over jumps while Suas Sios could get involved if the jumping holds up, sentiments that also apply to Some Drama.
