Kelvin Forlonge (3/1), Gather Yourself (7/2), Shoeshine Boy (11/2), Holly Bird (7/1), Maura Jeanne (15/2), Monsieur Le Fuzz (17/2), Better Be Definite (11/1), Piaff Bubbles (12/1), Nae Bother At A' (33/1), Blue Indigo (50/1)

KELVIN FORLONGE did the job well over this C&D on his handicap debut at the beginning of December and, with further progress likely, this unexposed type will prove a tough nut to crack off a 6 lb higher mark. Irish raider Gather Yourself is greatly respected on the strength of his latest effort in a more competitive race than this at Navan, while C&D scorers Better Be Definite and Shoeshine Boy, who followed the selection home here last month, are others to consider.
