Cappucino (9/4), Addragoole (5/2), Balko D'ange (5/1), Clarens (17/2), Ballystone (9/1), Walnut Beach (16/1), Fiveonefive (16/1), Angostura (18/1), Duke Otto (22/1), Little Mixup (28/1), Starzov (40/1)

WALNUT BEACH is potentially well treated in this sphere on chase form so gets the vote. Addragoole won his maiden in good style at Clonmel so is next best ahead of Balko d'Ange.
