Mint Boy (6/4), Stuzzikini (10/3), Sequestered (7/2), Free Flowing (9/2), Moon D'orange (18/1), Walhaan (20/1), Zolpharine (40/1), Lavinia Fontana (150/1)

Making a belated handicap debut, STUZZIKINI ran his best race in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Punchestown 19 days ago and he can get back to winning ways returned to novice company. Sequestered also showed improved form on his latest outing and could be the main danger, with Mint Boy completing the shortlist.
