Brown Boots (5/2), Live To Laugh (9/2), Plain Or Battered (9/2), Nettuno Italia (5/1), Cordal Boy (12/1), Zolpharine (14/1), Ceroc (16/1), Brucejack (18/1), Insouciant Dallier (18/1), Mount Shenshan (20/1), Milanaway (25/1), Patsy's Pride (33/1), Seeitoldya (33/1), Love Like This (40/1)

Verdict

LIVE TO LAUGH and Brown Boots both arrive as unexposed staying chasers, but preference is for the former, who was hugely impressive in his wide-margin Thurles success earlier this month. Nettuno Italia is an intriguing chasing recruit and could have a say if either of the main pair fail to deliver.
