Kalanisi Dubh (10/3), Timeless Piece (4/1), Stockdale (4/1), Skinnider (9/2), Caoimhes Pet (6/1), Ah Fuhgeddaboudit (6/1), Betty Dutton (17/2), Bayou Belle (9/1), Franno (33/1), Spyfall (66/1)

KALANISI DUBH had plenty in hand at Clonmel last month so an 8 lb rise doesn't look too severe. The chief threat may come from the handicap hurdle newcomers. Timeless Piece should have more to offer for Elliott yard and is second choice ahead of Ah Fuhgeddaboudit and Spyfall, who represents last year's winning stable.
