Silent Flight (11/4), The Niffler (11/4), Maimie's Magic (9/2), Fairly Bold (9/1), Joeswayornoway (11/1), Rebel Cowgirl (12/1), Portnacoo (12/1), Flashthelights (14/1), Lady Iseult (14/1), Ferrum (16/1), Flicker Of Hope (16/1), College Causeway (20/1), Perfect Pupil (25/1), Party Pack (25/1), Subset (28/1), Essential Part (50/1), Father Jed (66/1)

SILENT FLIGHT stayed on strongly to justify support at Punchestown last time and, in a thin race, he may be able to defy a rise if the emphasis is sufficiently on stamina. Maimie's Magic should give another good account and The Niffler looks potentially well treated.
