Friends (4/6), Hashtag Pretender (15/8), Albert Camus (7/2), Dubeyeracingcraic (17/2), Scottish Dancer (9/1), Fox Leicester (16/1), Jonny Mansie (66/1), Cramers Valley (80/1), Ladybela (100/1), Hi Sur Multi (150/1), Torential (150/1)

Winner of a Wexford bumper on debut last month, FRIENDS looks a decent prospect for the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard and she is taken to maintain her unbeaten record by making a successful start in this sphere. Hashtag Pretender and Albert Camus are feared most in that order of preference, while dual Flat winner Scottish Dancer is also of interest on his hurdles debut.
