Captain Conby (11/8), The Goffer (5/2), Berkshire Royal (9/2), Gatsby Grey (8/1), The Little Yank (9/1), Ferdia (66/1)
BERKSHIRE ROYAL ran out a taking winner of a Kilbeggan novice in May, and with further progress on the cards, he can defy another absence. Captain Conby was value for a good deal more than the winning margin at Punchestown last time and is open to further improvement, with The Goffer also well respected.
