Karafon (1/3), Paul Collins (4/11), Party Dress (3/1), All Eyez On Me (9/1), Scriabin (25/1), Only You Norah (33/1), Busy Being Busy (40/1), Don'tletmego (40/1), Sylvia's Secret (66/1)

French recruit KARAFON wasn't beaten at all far on debut for Willie Mullins in a strong Grade 2 contest at Leopardstown last December and it will be disappointing should he fail to deliver. Paul Collins made a promising start under Rules at Wexford and he is the clear pick for forecast purposes. Party Dress is best of the rest.
