Sweet Will (3/1), Feyan (7/2), Rock Of Tuskar (6/1), Indie Belle (8/1), The Higher Road (17/2), Da Big Fella (17/2), Missiee (12/1), Golden Glen (14/1), Citizen's Army (16/1), Innisfree Beauty (16/1), Old Soul (20/1), Battle Of Benburb (20/1), Queensteel (25/1), Likable Chancer (33/1), Synone (33/1), Mick The Jiver (40/1), Costalita (66/1)
FEYAN won a Punchestown chase by a wide margin last month so is potentially well treated off only 3 lb higher back hurdling. The Higher Road is back on the same mark as when second over C&D in November so she's a possible threat. Da Big Fella and last month's Tramore scorer Missiee are also on the shortlist.
