The Dancing Tree (6/5), On Your Way (15/8), You Done Well (4/1), Ballybrittas (4/1), Chautuaqua (14/1), St Anthonys Corner (16/1), Ages Of Man (16/1), Spellacy's Cross (33/1)

YOU DONE WELL has already shown himself to be a better hurdler than he was on the Flat and the 4-y-o may well find a bit more now pitched into a handicap for the first time in this sphere. The Dancing Tree is also of interest now handicapping on the back of an encouraging effort at Punchestown and he is just about second choice ahead of Ballybrittas.
