Blue Hop (2/1), Cowper Hall (5/2), Cappucino (7/2), Femme Magnifique (8/1), Rockbrook (17/2), Butter Fingers (14/1), Eye Of A Tiger (18/1), Little Mixup (66/1), Ossifer Hops (100/1)

CAPPUCINO was brought down at the first last time so has to be given another chance to confirm the promise of November's Punchestown fifth. Henry de Bromhead's new recruit Blue Hop is a possible big threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Recent Fairyhouse hurdle winner Cowper Hall should also have a part to play if taking to fences at the first time of asking.
