Glenwood For Ever (4/1), Na Trachtalai Abu (11/2), Fergiethelegend (6/1), El Vasco (6/1), Artic Pearl (7/1), Enniskillen (8/1), Burndown (10/1), Anseanachai Cliste (12/1), Stonehall Jack (20/1), On The Shannon (20/1), Tom Horn (33/1)

Glenwood For Ever posted a promising effort on debut for Noel Meade recently (despite being disqualified) and will be a threat if building on that. That was off the back a long layoff and, just 16 days later, the dreaded bounce factor is a concern. Equally, Wexford winner Fergiethelegend is no sure thing to reproduce that effort this evening. Artic Pearl has a decent record here (despite fall very early on last time) and should challenge if none the worse but he might struggle to confirm earlier placings with EL VASCO from a beginners' chase at Leopardstown. The selection goes up in trip now sent handicapping and should have more to give on just his fifth chase.
