Burning Ability (9/4), Speed For Fun (11/4), Jack Owen Jack (7/2), Withabitofluk (9/2), Royal Approval (13/2), Black Dakota (28/1), Ajp Falco (28/1), Carajillo (80/1), Pegasuslane (400/1)

SPEED FOR FUN was a fair Flat winner in France last spring and is fancied to make light of an absence and get off to a winning start in this sphere for Willie Mullins. Royal Approval remains with some potential for hurdling and is next on the list ahead of Burning Ability and Jack Owen Jack.
