Courtin Bb (6/1), Coolfighter (6/1), Derby De Thaix (6/1), Something Sweet (8/1), Tintown Robin (8/1), Carrigready (10/1), Fleurys Fort (10/1), You Can't Catch Me (12/1), Tarazani (12/1), All About Alfie (16/1), Feeling The Love (20/1), D'bru Na Boinne (20/1), Epsilon Indi (25/1), Brontide (25/1), Brogine (25/1), Novano (28/1), Jazz Mine (33/1), Saint Irini (50/1)

Verdict

FLEURYS FORT finished second behind Coolfighter last time out in a Tramore handicap hurdle but can reverse placings here to land the spoils off just a 1lb higher mark. The top-weight Coolfighter and Tarazani both deserve consideration while Something Sweet could easily out-run her large odds here.
  1. Fleurys Fort
  2. Tarazani
  3. Something Sweet
