Splashing Out (3/1), Gabriel Ranger (10/3), Vaureal (5/1), Kazakh D'arthel (17/2), Ballycashin (9/1), Be Fierce (10/1), Crecora Hills (12/1), Bynx (12/1), Oneforgonzo (14/1), Big Island (16/1), Insouciant Dallier (33/1)

GABRIEL RANGER arrives on the back of some good runs over hurdles and is worth chancing to make a winning start to his chase career. Ballycashin will be a threat if back to her Gowran chase debut form. Crecora Hills is entitled to come on for her Punchestown reappearance and also makes the shortlist.
