O'Moore Park (8/13), I Am Fortunata (3/1), Sky Sprinter (13/2), Ahead Of The Posse (18/1), Trent Lane (18/1), Francis Marion (22/1), Curley Finger (25/1), Lodge Prince (33/1), Shanbally Kid (40/1), Housemartin (50/1), Half Grand (50/1), Data Breach (80/1), Quaylago (80/1), Leading Oak (150/1), Wee Jerry (150/1), Autumn Philtre (250/1)

The market will no doubt reveal plenty here but points winner O'MOORE PARK made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Fairyhouse and can go one better now under the tutelage of Willie Mullins. Gordon Elliott's well-related Getaway newcomer I Am Fortunata is feared most, although fellow debutants Sky Sprinter and Curley Finger figure on the shortlist too.
