Arbor Des Champs (6/5), Ladysingstheblues (3/1), Juliespaddockwalk (5/1), Frazel Express (13/2), Dawn In The Park (7/1), Ten Theatre (8/1), Manger Et Trotter (20/1), Joy's Gift (25/1), Chesterfield Queen (66/1), Eamonns Oscar (66/1), The Last Indian (100/1), Lauras Witness (100/1), Sylvi (100/1), Blondes No More (100/1)

This is a good race for the time of year, and should thrown up plenty of future winners. The likes of Juliespaddockwalk and Ladysingstheblues should both be up to winning novice events and the bumper form shown by Frazel Express entitles her to plenty of respect too, but the experience of Arbor Des Champs might just hold sway today and she can get off the mark over hurdles after narrowly missing out at Cork, especially if just tidying her jumping up a little. Manger Et Trotter and Dawn In The Park are others worth a second look in what should be an informative event.
