Shush (1/3), Sir Benford Wales (7/2), Papal Motel (10/1), Cash In Mind (11/1), Desert Grey (11/1), Hitchcock (33/1), Mountain Ranger (50/1), Dragon Houdini (50/1), Gone Galavanting (50/1), Saintmont (50/1), Nibblers Charm (66/1), Myanne (100/1), Wat Tyler (100/1), Carrigaloe (100/1), Goodbye Oonagh (100/1)

SHUSH had no problems justifying short odds in a Wexford bumper on debut four weeks ago and should be primed to go jumping now. The champion trainer is operating a 31% strike rate recently and looks well positioned to boost it still further on this card. Sir Benford Wales went well at Downpatrick when making the frame last time and can have similar aspirations while Cash In Mind has also shown promise. Newcomer Dragon Houdini is worth a second look.
