Ciel De Neige (6/5), Busselton (4/1), Velvet Elvis (9/2), Frontal Assault (5/1), Fancy Foundations (16/1), Bay Ambition (16/1), Slige Dala (28/1), Conquredalofeurope (125/1)

Verdict

CIEL DE NIEGE looked a smart recruit to chasing when winning reasily at Thurles last month and can make it 2-2 in his new discipline. Frontal Assault can turn around last month's Punchestown form with Busselton and provide the chief threat.
