Springt De La Mare (8/11), Slanagaibhgoleir (3/1), Chosen Thyme (7/2), Find A Fortune (7/1), Churchroad Prince (12/1), Insouciant Dallier (12/1), Bossofthebrownies (40/1), Mon Euil (66/1), Cloughroe (125/1), Muskerry Rock (125/1), Hesasmoothoperator (150/1)

FIND A FORTUNE finished a place ahead of better-fancied stablemate Slanagaibhgoleir when fourth on his hurdles debut at Navan and, likely to come on for that considerate introduction to this sphere, he may again have the measure of the latter. Still, Slanagaibhgoleir remains open to improvement, too, and is a much-respected main danger, while Chosen Thyme, who performed with plenty of credit on return at Clonmel last month, and hurdles debutant Springt De La Mare are others to consider.
