Tea Olive (2/1), Vocal Studies (9/4), Cordouan (10/3), Higher Kingdom (5/1), Longbourn (6/1), No Niki No (13/2), Chavajod (11/1), Celtic Crown (14/1)

HIGHER KINGDOM returned to form when second in a competitive event at the Curragh last time and a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better. Chavajod is a big danger and No Niki No is one of several others for whom a case can be made.
