Salmanino (15/8), Carrig Sam (9/4), Ballykeel (10/3), Carrolls Cottage (6/1), Brideswell Lad (6/1), Wild Hunt (10/1), Alko Rouge (10/1), Clonmeen (80/1), Ballycastle Girl (125/1)

BALLYKEEL has shown some fairly useful form without getting his head in front over fences and looks to have been found a good opportunity to gain an overdue success here. Salmanino rates the main threat on the back of his Punchestown victory, ahead of Brideswell Lad who should build on his fifth here last time after an absence.
