Plan Of Attack (5/1), The Major General (13/2), Oighear Dubh (7/1), Yeats Mardy (7/1), Sweet Home Chicago (8/1), Presentingprincess (8/1), Movingswiftlyalong (8/1), Harrys Gift (10/1), First To Boogie (12/1), Railway Muice (14/1), Queen Khaleesi (20/1), Father Mattie (25/1), Coolmill (33/1)

Not an easy race to call, but FATHER MATTIE is the suggestion. Admittedly, he has fitness to prove, but he is on what looks to be a handy mark for this return from an absence and a first-time cheekpieces/tongue-strap combination could also help. Plan Of Attack is feared now stepping up in trip, while Presentingprincess, Sweet Home Chicago, Olghear Dubh and Yeats Mardy all make some appeal.
