Chavez (10/3), Path D'oroux (7/2), The Folkes Tiara (11/2), Snake Oil (6/1), Typical Thomas (17/2), Drumbear (9/1), Cayd Boy (10/1), The Greek (10/1), Skippin Court (12/1), The Big Chap (16/1), Fire Attack (22/1)

There's still room for improving in the jumping department but CHAVEZ otherwise looked pretty good when running away with a big-field maiden chase at Fairyhouse and, on a fair mark for this handicap debut, he looks the way to go. Cayd Boy needs to get back on track but will be a threat if able to so do off this reduced mark, while The Greek is capable of a bold show and the hat-trick seeking Typical Thomas has to enter calculations, too.
