Porthill (4/5), Bally Free (10/3), I Am Lorenzo (7/2), Melbourne Shamrock (12/1), Juke Hill (16/1), Drop A Threat (18/1), Banter At The Bar (40/1), Elsa Bay (125/1), Ersudaly (150/1), Daws Cross (300/1), Cornaroya Rocco (300/1)

I AM LORENZO holds much the best form on offer and now his stamina is unlocked more he is fancied to get off the mark. Willie Mullins' hurdling debutant Porthill brings plenty of potential and could emerge as the main dangers, although Bally Free can also have a say if, as expected, building on his recent Punchestown fourth. Melbourne Shamrock completes the shortlist.
