Caher Roes Den (5/2), Kir (7/2), Chase The Moon (11/2), Long Branch (15/2), Kelya (8/1), No Looking Back (9/1), Mullaghgloss (12/1), Pat's Legacy (20/1), Maverick Mack (22/1), King In Love (33/1), Arcland (33/1), Lisnagar Fortune (40/1), Hesasmoothoperator (100/1)

Verdict

CAHER ROES DEN is on the up since joining Willie Mullins and is fancied to add to his Galway hurdling success and go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Long Branch rates the pick of those with chasing experience and is next on the list, although Arcland also enters calculations on his fencing debut.
