Captain Quint (15/8), Ritson (4/1), North Parade (9/2), Paddy The Horse (9/2), Feivel (5/1), Malpas (13/2), Glentruan (10/1), Twoshotsoftequila (11/1)

A tricky contest, with twice-raced hurdler CAPTAIN QUINT perhaps most interesting. Rose Dobbin's 6-y-o was runner-up in an Irish point and very much appeals as one to significantly improve over fences. It's hard to rule any of his rivals out, with Ritson, Malpas and Paddy The Horse of particular interest.
