Ben Button (1/1), Chain Gang (10/3), Icantsay (7/1), Mr Champers (9/1), Lambs Lane (10/1), Seskinane (20/1), Top Of The Town (20/1), Irish Bulletin (25/1)

BEN BUTTON has been going very nicely since joining the champion trainer, he scored with plenty in hand at Galway on penultimate start and then defied a quick turnaround / drop in trip to win at Sligo four days later. This trip is more his thing and he should take plenty beating now. Top Of The Town reverts back from chasing and while out of form lately, would be formidable if recapturing something near his best, with similar sentiments attached to Irish Bulletin. Seskinane has won on this sort of ground which might revive him while the lightly-raced Mr Champers is entitled to get involved if stamina holds out.
