Quebecois (10/11), Jack Black (5/1), Kalahari King (5/1), Ilfonce (7/1), Matthias (17/2), Drumheller (16/1), Moving Target (33/1), Demelza Carne (40/1), Silver Chord (100/1), Bredon Hill Dart (100/1), Nelson's Shadow (150/1)
The market will no doubt prove informative with the majority unraced but it's hard to ignore the claims of QUEBECOIS, who cost £320,000 and finished runner-up on his sole start in Irish points earlier this year. Jack Black ticks plenty of boxes representing leading connections so he may emerge as the main danger, with the once-raced Drumheller and Kalahari King another couple to consider.
