Thatsy (5/4), All Those Years (2/1), Battle Of Midway (4/1), Mister Fogpatches (14/1), Atlantic Shore (14/1), Glamorgan Duke (16/1), My Club Colours (33/1), Carrigmoorna Pine (50/1), Costly Diamond (66/1), Delaney's Cross (100/1), Iridescent (100/1)

Although Charles Byrnes All Those Years is the most obvious contender here he might have the misfortune of bumping into a Graded level performer in Gordon Elliott's THATSY who made a huge impression at Navan and as a previous point-to-point scorer he should be at least as good over hurdles. Mister Fogpatches and Battle Of Midway look best of the rest.
