St Faz (5/2), Clarens (7/2), One Last Tango (5/1), Macinamillion (7/1), Jack Holiday (17/2), Linden Arden (9/1), Mica Malpic (16/1), The Dara Man (22/1), Good As Hell (22/1), Presenting Lad (25/1), Typical Thomas (25/1)

Verdict

LINDEN ARDEN rates the pick of these weights on the back of an excellent Fairyhouse third in novice company so looks the way to go. Clarens is feared most on the back of his recent Tramore victory, although handicap debutant Macinamillion and Limerick third St Faz can both have a say too.
