Josies Orders (6/5), The Crafty Butcher (9/2), Hurricane Darwin (7/1), Blue Templar (7/1), Ballyboker Bridge (8/1), My Hometown (10/1), Black Benny (14/1), Senators Glory (33/1), Sammy Black (33/1), Mia's Milan (40/1), Vital Island (50/1), Ballydarsi (50/1), Tom Horn (66/1), Burning Issues (66/1), Fergiethelegend (100/1)

Probably only a handful to concentrate on, and after his return to form in the La Touche earlier in the week, JOSIES ORDERS looks ready to get back on the scoresheet. A wonderful servant to the yard in banks and cross country chases over the past few years, he can make his class tell. Ballyboker Bridge has run some of his best races at the track and can take another prize home. The Crafty Butcher would be interesting if taking to this new test, but at this stage both Blue Templar and Hurricane Darwin hold stronger claims.
