Christmas Day (6/4), Hamiyan (11/4), Hedjet (3/1), Causeway (15/2), Lauda (14/1), Carwyn (16/1), Sunrush (20/1), Adel (40/1), Silk N Swagger (40/1), Farewell To Arms (100/1), Dawn Flame (100/1)

HAMIYAN left his debut effort behind when finishing runner-up at Galway 11 days ago and a repeat could well be enough for him to go one better. Causeway ticks plenty of boxes on paper, so he heads up the dangers before the benefit of market clues, with his stablemate Christmas Day and Lauda another couple fancied to be in the shake-up, too.
