Max Flamingo (1/1), Egality Mans (2/1), Grand Paradis (9/4), Baptism Of Fire (10/3), Old Town Garde (22/1), Magnium (100/1)

BAPTISM OF FIRE was off the mark at the second attempt over fences when landing a novice at Kilbeggan 23 days ago and he's open to improvement, so he's preferred to Max Flamingo and Grand Paradis who have, admittedly, achieved more in form terms to this point. Egality Mans is also a player.
