King Alex (10/3), Good Man Jim (9/2), Western Run (15/2), Bold Emperor (15/2), Thereisnodoubt (17/2), Jukebox Jive (11/1), Elite Trooper Grey (11/1), Lee Valley Legacy (12/1), Lord Erskine (12/1), It Could Be You (12/1), Snugsborough Hall (16/1), Drumacoo (33/1), Tintangle (40/1), Without Limites (50/1)

The vote in the competitive and open-looking handicap goes to JUKEBOX JIVE, who wasn't beaten far when fifth in a strong contest at Cork last month and he remains on a feasible mark. King Alex has to be feared in his bid for the four-timer, but bigger threats may be posed by the potentially well-treated Good Man Jim, Elite Trooper Grey and Western Run.
