Sir Carno (5/2), Nerual (4/1), Nick Lost (11/2), An'ball (7/1), Captainofthefleet (7/1), Railway Tommy (10/1), Undressed (12/1), Naturally Blond (16/1), Perfect Man (20/1), Capture The Drama (28/1)

Any repeat of his fine 2½L win last time out when left in the lead at the last in a Punchestown novice handicap hurdle last month should see SIR CARNO take this contest without any problems. The first-time blinkers on Nerul and the mark on handicap debut for Nick Lost could see the pair hitting the frame.
