Abbeygrey (1/1), Generous Chief (6/1), Royal Chief (7/1), Definitly Grey (8/1), Withoutdefavourite (10/1), Thady Quil (11/1), Xenophon (12/1), Irish Octave (16/1), Backoftherock (25/1), The Land Agent (50/1), Spanish Optimist (100/1)

Not a race that gets the blood racing to start the card with mostly disappointing and out of form types participating. Abbeygrey is turned out quickly (might not be ideal) again after his win last time out and given that he doesn’t carry a penalty here he has to be respected. Xenophon looked as though he might be on his way back last time out and while Thady Quill can be given a modest chance on his win here although he has looked limited and ungenuine since. ROYAL CHIEF is the one offered up as a token selection here given that he might be able to build on his hurdles outing last time back over the bigger obstacles and he did travel well throughout that race and a repeat of that may well be good enough.
