Eight Till Late (10/3), William Du Berlais (7/2), Hello Sweetie (4/1), Rufino (4/1), The Mooch (5/1), Oighear Dubh (6/1), Ballyfinboy (8/1), Killer Crow (10/1), Definite Earl (10/1), Afatcat (12/1), Gentleman Duke (20/1), The Shepherd King (20/1)

Rufino ended a long run without a win by scoring at Tramore last time out, but that was a weak contest and the 8lb penalty should be enough to ground his progress. Gentleman Duke has a year's absence to defy here but would take beating in this line-up if able to produce his best stuff on the back of the layoff. The Mooch has been suggesting he'll throw in a notable performance lately and is helped by a claim here while handicap debutant Definite Earl is another worth considering. EIGHT TILL LATE however is rated 5lb lower than when he narrowly failed to open his account over fences at this track over a longer trip in September. He ran a fair race on reappearance at Limerick and might be able to breakthrough now back at this venue.
