Le Martalin (2/1), Turcagua (2/1), Pylonthepressure (9/2), Balbir Du Mathan (8/1), Oathkeeper (10/1), Mighty Stowaway (16/1), Kaiser Black (33/1), Soul Kaliber (33/1), Hidden Charmer (66/1), Fit To Be Tied (66/1), Timmie Roe (66/1), Hugo 'n Taz (66/1), Phil The Flyer (100/1), Two In One (100/1), Lagenod (100/1), A Plein Temps (100/1), Bold Frost (125/1)

Balbir Du Mathan likes to get on with things and will possibly lead early in the contest with Le Martalin, Pylonthepressure and A Plein Temps chasing close behind. The early speed on the heavy ground could well play to the advantage of the Willie Mullins-trained TURCAGUA who can improve on his second of 10 on chasing debut last month. Balbir Du Mathan, Le Martalin and stablemate Pylonthepressure can battle for the minors.
