Full Irish (2/1), Three Faces West (10/3), Lake View Lad (11/2), Catamaran Du Seuil (10/1), No Planning (10/1), Vic De Touzaine (11/1), Broadway Buffalo (12/1), Captain Redbeard (14/1), Earthmoves (14/1), Go West Young Man (40/1)

Always a competitive contest and one where it could pay to side with the improving and unexposed FULL IRISH, given his proven ability on the ground, over this sort of trip and the fact that he represents the in-form Emma Lavelle team. Three Faces West should be a leading player after a good pipe-opener and this drop back in trip looks positive, while Vic De Touzaine is not totally ruled out after one bad run, but he does have a bit to prove now. If anybody can get one ready to win after a 22-month absence it is David Pipe, so keep an eye on the market regarding the chance of former winner Broadway Buffalo. Catarmaran Du Seuil needs to bounce back after his latest effort, while No Planning is on a very dangerous mark and represents a trainer who has done really well in contests like this here over the years, although surprisingly has not had the winner of this particular race in the past decade.
