Ballyfort (15/8), Cave Hill (2/1), Wearelongterm (10/3), Upfordebate (6/1), Eden Mill (7/1), Love That (12/1), Voice Of Reason (12/1), Benito (18/1), Carnet De Stage (28/1), Millyupdahilly (40/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and BALLYFORT is fancied to build on his resurgent second here last time out and gain a first success. Fellow maiden Wearelongterm is next on the list on the back of his good recent Wetherby second, while Cave Hill and Eden Mill are others who warrant respect.
