Max Meridius (7/2), Le Diablo (4/1), Houndsworth (9/2), At The Wings (11/2), Marlpark (6/1), Bhean Saibhre (9/1), Doctor Confusion (9/1), Valsorpresa (16/1), Ballinvasas Best (28/1)

Verdict

HOUNDSWORTH arrives in better heart than his recent figures suggests and looks worth chancing to get back to winning ways in an ordinary handicap. Le Diablo was back to form at Wexford last time and is likely to prove the biggest threat if backing that performance up, whilst Bhean Saibhre is respected having won at this course last season.

  1. HOUNDSWORTH (IRE)
  2. LE DIABLO (FR)
