The Dara Man (3/1), Noble Birth (4/1), Magnor Glory (5/1), Varna Gold (5/1), Aarons Day (7/1), Wouldn't You Agree (9/1), Zoffanien (9/1), Mattie's Mountain (10/1), Harvey's Quay (11/1), Mythical Hero (20/1), Ujumpthelastuwin (20/1), Andratx (28/1), Longclaw (50/1)

A former C&D hurdles winner, THE DARA MAN arrives having posted a career-best display when successful over fences at Navan 4 weeks ago and he gets the nod to confirm the improvement shown then back over smaler obstacles. Noble Birth ran just a fair race on Thursday, but may still do better and is feared most, ahead of Harvey's Quay.
