Arslan (4/9), Stede Bonnet (10/3), Only For Our Man (9/2), Ehteyat (14/1), Mr Rango (33/1), Eco Pete (33/1), Poppycon (66/1), Jaynemax (125/1), Marian Avenue (125/1), Awaywith The Mixer (150/1), Ballyteigue Bay (250/1), Quietrunsthedon (300/1), The Cobblers Wife (300/1)

Verdict

ARSLAN is sure to have derived plenty from his opening third over hurdles at Thurles a month ago so he looks the answer. Clear-second choice is Stede Bonnet, who was talented enough to win 2 bumpers and he bumped into a useful one last time. Only For Our Man is also of some interest.

  1. ARSLAN (FR)
  2. STEDE BONNET (IRE)
  3. ONLY FOR OUR MAN (IRE)
