Slade Steel (8/15), Wingmen (5/2), Patter Merchant (9/2), Spread Boss Ted (6/1), Ballybow (9/1), Joystick (16/1), Built By Ballymore (33/1), Yoradreamer (66/1), Kings Hill (80/1)

This looks a warm race of its type with marginal preference for SLADE STEEL, who was brought down through no fault of his own at Punchestown having finished runner-up on his previous 3 tries over fences. Wingmen is the obvious danger on form, though it will be interesting to see what Spread Boss Ted can do over the larger obstacles.
