Bobabout (11/4), Ballyoisin (3/1), Top Othe Ra (8/1), Old Castletown (8/1), Mr Antolini (9/1), My Manekineko (10/1), The King Of Brega (11/1), Prickly (12/1), Moonday Sun (14/1), Theophilus (25/1)

BOBABOUT overcame all sorts of trouble in running to win a handicap at the Festival here in April and should have plenty more to come. He's taken to get the better of Ballyoisin, still well handicapped on old form despite top weight and may appreciate being returned to hurdles. Old Castletown and Top Othe Ra may fight out the minor money.
