Minella Cocooner (11/10), Senior Chief (15/8), Sandor Clegane (9/4), My Immortal (8/1), Digby (8/1), Grand Soir (14/1), Landrake (16/1), Klarc Kent (66/1)

A smart novice hurdler a couple of seasons back, MINELLA COCOONER should come on plenty for his reappearance spin at Leopardstown during the Christmas period and make it third time lucky over fences here. Sandor Clegane was runner-up in the Grade 2 Florida Pearl at Punchestown last time and he is second choice ahead of Digby and My Immortal.
