Shanroe Act (10/11), Toon Town (7/2), Tell Nobody Nothin (9/2), Oneforgonzo (9/2), Kazbek (12/1), Royal Time (14/1), Harley Street (18/1), Elusive Guy (18/1), Warm In Gorey (20/1), Luimneach (25/1), Shanroe Nancy (25/1), Baltinglass Hill (25/1), Person Of Interest (25/1), Bocelli's Voice (40/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and it could be worth siding with recent impressive Fairyhouse hurdling victor SHANROE ACT to make a winning start in this sphere. Catterick runner-up Toon Town seems sure to be on the premises once more, while Elusive Guy is weighted to go well back in this sphere and Bocelli's Voice can't be discounted if on his A-game.
