Great Field (15/8), Identity Thief (2/1), Don't Touch It (5/2), Woodland Opera (13/2), Baily Cloud (14/1), Rancher Lass (150/1)
Great Field made a super start over fences when winning at Gowran Park in January. He travelled supremely well and won easily but there were some questions about his jumping over the final three obstacles. Clearly, he is entitled to have improved his fencing but it may be needed this time. Don't Touch It opened his account in good style at Thurles and has acquitted himself well all three starts, his experience shouldn't be discounted. The manner in which IDENTITY THIEF took his opening two starts at Punchestown this season still lingers, despite what has been a troubled few months. It is interesting that connections choose to run here and, at his best, he would have outstanding claims in this. Woodland Opera may have hold place claims, as might Baily Cloud if getting around in one piece.
