Early Doors (9/4), Smoking Gun (7/2), Captain Cj (9/2), Eurobot (11/2), Ontheropes (6/1), Discordantly (9/1), Small Farm (20/1), Royal Reve (100/1), Krisquin (100/1)
EARLY DOORS made an encouraging start to his chase career when he was second at Galway earlier this year. He can go one place better here on his second attempt over fences.Captain CJ has produced three respectable performances over fences so far and should be in contention at the business end of this race once again over this longer trip, while Smoking Gun looks capable of building upon his run at Navan last time so take him to finish in the placings.
