Red Kelly (9/4), Baby Zeus (9/2), Emperor Of The Sun (5/1), Aesop (13/2), Springbank (15/2), Sunchart (10/1), Marchons Ensemble (11/1), Silvertown (22/1), Firstman (66/1), China's Storm (66/1)
The 'big' rise of 21lb for the win of Red Kelly will not have gone down well with connections with the colt possibly struggling in this competitive affair from his revised mark. This may let in the Ger Lyons-trained BABY ZEUS who ran well on handicap debut at Navan earlier this month shaping well to finish 3¾L adrift of the winner Delphi. The selection could face stiff opposition from stablemate, Marchons Ensemble who is likely to improve on his second of 14 at Leopardstown last month. The Jessica Harrington-trained Aesop and Springbank, another from the Johnny Murtagh yard should not be easily dismissed.
