Duchess Ravenwaves (2/1), Conron (5/1), Darver Star (13/2), Wait Here (8/1), Like An Open Book (10/1), Ejayteekay (10/1), Golden Spear (10/1), Penny Out (11/1), Play The Game (12/1), Trainwreck (12/1), Misty Millie (20/1), Tombstone (20/1)

One of the less obvious contenders in this is Wait Here who posted an encouraging effort when third in a competitive affair at the Galway Festival and prior to that was a good third over this C&D. Also in the mix is Tombstone who banished the memory of his disappointing run in the Galway Hurdle when only finding the in-form Westland Row too good at Kilbeggan. His talented apprentice jockey offsets the burden of some of his heavy weight. We'll take a chance on CONRON though, whose latest effort over hurdles when runner-up to a well handicapped JP McManus sort at the Punchestown Festival reads well, and he still looks well-handicapped off just a 3lb higher mark.
