Affinity Rock (7/4), Fort Dino (11/4), Where's My Jet (11/4), Ballystone (4/1), Lemmy Caution (4/1), Heroes Rise (8/1), Themanintheanorak (11/1), Happy Me (66/1)
Not the easiest race to assess but it could be worth siding with Gordon Elliott's point/hurdles winner LEMMY CAUTION to prove the ace of the pack here and make a successful start over fences. Affinity Rock rates a big threat but could have to settle for runner-up spot once more, while Ballystone also needs considering if, as expected, building on his recent Galway fourth.
