Grand Roi (10/11), Adamantly Chosen (11/8), Watch House Cross (13/2), Mattie's Mountain (50/1), Barely Made It (66/1), Masterstonemason (100/1), Soloman Lane (200/1)

Those with previous chasing experience don't set a tall standard so GRAND ROI and Adamantly Chosen are fancied to fight this one out with preference for the former making his reappearance after 5 months off the track. Willie Mullins' charge is sure to give the selection plenty to think about though, while Watch House Cross is not ruled out having found to have bled on his chase debut at Kilbeggan in June.
