Gaelic Warrior (13/8), Dinoblue (4/1), Found A Fifty (4/1), Marine Nationale (9/2), Captain Guinness (11/1), Blue Lord (25/1), Solness (28/1), Gentleman De Mee (33/1), Senecia (100/1), Visionarian (150/1)

DINOBLUE was the Willie Mullins first-string when winning this race last year and while that won't be the case this time round with Gaelic Warrior on the prowl, she has race-fitness on her side having chasing home another classy stablemate in Energumene on her recent reappearance at Cork and will be spot-on for this assignment. Gaelic Warrior was so impressive when brushing Found A Fifty aside in the Arkle and, if able to deliver a performance akin to that, he will obviously be a big threat.
