Ottizzini (2/1), Danada (10/3), Bob Cigar (4/1), The Ballyline Man (7/1), Pahlavi (8/1), Ballyquin Bay (9/1), Lazer Wolf (12/1), Attaboyarchie (12/1), Portnacoo (25/1), Aughafatten (33/1), Impulse (40/1), Jimli's Cave (66/1), Meranti (80/1), Signora Di Milano (150/1), Tomannie (200/1)

The vote goes to DANADA, who made a promising start to his career when third at Clonmel in January and this step up in trip can help unlock improvement. Ottizzini doesn't look especially progressive but she's a key player nonetheless and is feared most ahead of the Willie Mullins-trained hurdling debutant The Ballyline Man. Bob Cigar looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott duo and also enters calculations.
