Hiddenvalley Lake (8/13), Corbetts Cross (5/4), Search For Glory (9/4), Monty's Star (7/1), Walk In The Brise (8/1), Granny Lowrie (16/1), Kalanisi Dubh (80/1), Farceur De Sivola (200/1)
CORBETTS CROSS is a novice on a steep upward curve, making a mockery of his opening handicap mark at Fairyhouse last month, and can take this step up in class in his stride. The unbeaten Hiddenvalley Lake arrives on the back of an impressive performance in a Grade 3 at Cork so is the obvious threat despite his 6 lb penalty, while Monty's Star, Search For Glory and Walk In The Brise also have a fair bit of potential.
