Aherlow (7/4), Monatomic (9/2), Kingsteel (5/1), Itscatrionaschoice (7/1), Blue Morpho (8/1), Cailean's Angel (9/1), Touch Base (16/1), Kellyiscool (50/1), Sean Thyne (50/1), Bombay Basil (50/1), Tillys Delight (50/1), Jestival (80/1)

Monatomic can make a bold bid here for Grand National winning duo of Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell but may find stiff opposition from the Henry De Bromhead-trained and serial runner-up AHERLOW who can land this ordinary maiden on his first run since October. Touch Base and Kingsteel can battle it out for the remaining place.
