Ken's Well (11/4), The Brig (11/4), Guitar George (11/2), Whatsinthecorner (7/1), Crazywork De Vassy (7/1), Carrigready (10/1), Present News (14/1), Get Smart (20/1), Mickey Shea (25/1), October Revolution (50/1), Unchago (50/1), Spud's Trouble (66/1), Winterberry (66/1), Fleetwood Jack (100/1), Barneymac (100/1), Lough Derg Lyric (100/1), Rudy Catrail (100/1)
Little in the way of strength in depth, so despite concerns about the trip, Guitar George could feasibly be considered, whilst Whatsinthecorner looks a potential market springer. However, KEN'S WELL appears the pick on the strength of his recent hurdles debut at Gowran Park. He finished two places in front of Crazywork De Vassy when no match for clear winner Madurai. He has some largely consistent form in bumpers, and if the hood can bring about even a small amount of improvement he has every chance of finally shedding his maiden status.
