Shecouldbeanything (11/8), Jesse Evans (5/2), Boldog (9/2), Jet Setting Jim (6/1), Noble Birth (16/1), A Law Of Her Own (20/1), Joyeux Vivo (40/1), San Salvador (50/1), Palace Rock (66/1), Blue Reed (150/1), Opera Point (200/1)

JET SETTING JIM shades preference ahead of Jesse Evans and chase debutant Boldog. The selection held every chance when falling at the last on his chase debut and wasn't knocked about when third over this C&D next time, leaving the strong impression that there is better to come. Jesse Evans was the pick of these over hurdles and probably would've made a winning start over fences at Killarney but for a bad mistake at the second-last. He is the main danger.
