Journey With Me (9/4), Ha D'Or (9/4), Impervious (3/1), Minella Crooner (5/1), Gracchus De Balme (28/1), Glengouly (33/1), Francin (100/1)

HA D'OR created a very good impression switched to chasing when easily making all at Fairyhouse on his return last month and can take this step up in class in his stride. Journey With Me confirmed the promise of his chase debut when scoring at Naas and looks the main threat, while Impervious and Minella Crooner are smart novice chasers in the making.
