Milan Native (15/8), Castlebawn West (2/1), Coquin Mans (5/1), School Boy Hours (13/2), Harrie (11/1), Massey's Wood (20/1), Forza Milan (25/1), Alfie's Choice (33/1), Fivecardstud (100/1), Whinstone Dee (100/1)

Willie Mullins has a strong hand here, and while Coquin Mans is the pick on hurdles form, CASTLEBAWN WEST has the benefit of a run over fences, and that gives him a potential edge. Milan Native and School Boy Hours set the standard on chase form, and should also be thereabouts in a clean race.
