Venitien De Mai (11/4), Cantlow (11/4), Josies Orders (3/1), Auvergnat (7/2), Hurricane Darwin (4/1), Mtada Supreme (8/1), Sammy Black (20/1), My Hometown (20/1), Blue Templar (33/1), Enniskillen (33/1), Fergiethelegend (100/1), Baily Fox (100/1)

Verdict

Enda Bolger's My Hometown could well be the one to set the fractions here in this Cross Country chase opener. As the runners turn for home it could be all green and gold up front as the three main protagonists battle it out to the finish with last years victor AUVERGNAT landing the spoils again from Joisie's Orders and the gallant Cantlow.
  1. Auvergnat
  2. Josies Orders
