He Can't Dance (11/8), Frankie John (2/1), Doctor Steinberg (5/2), Mickey Hulie (16/1), Jisco Du Brem (25/1), Loi Des Jeux (66/1), Listentomewillya (66/1), Sekakarma (100/1), Humble Brag (150/1)

The vote goes to HE CAN'T DANCE, who brings solid bumper form to the table, having placed in a Leopardstown Grade 2 and finished mid-field in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham subsequent to a winning debut in that sphere at Navan last December. This former point winner could be a useful novice hurdler in the making (and perhaps chaser further down the line). Frankie John was a promising second on his hurdles debut and is next on the list ahead of Doctor Steinberg.
