Glendine Billy (7/2), I Am Spider Man (4/1), Flicker Of Hope (4/1), Mustameet Secret (11/2), Sphagnum (7/1), Early Arrival (7/1), Mr Dibbs (8/1), Outside The Door (11/1), The Abbey (20/1), Housemartin (22/1), Benny The Duke (25/1), Tom Kelly (25/1), Miss Vivacious (25/1), Western Comandor (80/1), Amaulino (100/1)
This looks very competitive but FLICKER OF HOPE arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and follow up his stylish Wexford victory. Course winner I Am Spider Man heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Mr Dibbs, Glendine Billy, Early Arrival and Sphagnum.
