Monalee (1/1), Jury Duty (6/1), Rathvinden (6/1), Moulin A Vent (8/1), Dinaria Des Obeaux (9/1), Shattered Love (10/1), Bon Papa (12/1), Mossback (12/1), Thebarrowman (66/1)

Shattered Love and Thebarrowman are a pair who like to get on with things in the early stages of this Grade 1 contest with Monalee and Mossback chasing in behind. MONALEE won a Punchestown beginners chase in good style pushing clear from the last to win easily and can step up here in this company. Jury Duty, who may appreciate the step back up to 3m and the improver Bon Papa, who could be anything, can hit the frame.
