Joystick (5/6), Icare D'aubrelle (7/2), Coral River (15/2), Trasna Na Pairce (10/1), Los Blanco (11/1), Banter At The Bar (14/1), Honesty Policy (16/1), Big Mike (25/1), W B Easy (28/1), St Cuthbert's Cave (33/1), Fairyland Opera (40/1), Goodbye Picadilly (100/1), Sticwiththeprocess (125/1), Silas Marner (150/1), Driveonwill (150/1), Fool Me Once (150/1), Teds Corner (200/1), Le Grand Peinture (200/1), Washington Parks (250/1), Raby Mere (300/1), Nettuno Italia (300/1), Tennesse Boy (300/1), Millbrook Queen (400/1)

Verdict

Useful bumper winner JOYSTICK gets the nod to build on a promising first effort over hurdles at Punchestown last month. Icare d'Aubrelle rates an obvious danger on the back of his encouraging first attempt over hurdles. Henry de Bromhead pair Trasna Na Pairce and Los Blanco and Gordon Elliott's Honesty Policy are interesting hurdle newcomers.
