Kellyiscool (7/2), Whatsafellatodo (4/1), Epswell (9/2), Paris Texas (5/1), Petit Tartare (11/2), Lucky Icon (8/1), Cool Colonnade (9/1), Stander (33/1)

Verdict

The Willie Mullins-trained EPSWELL appeared to win his maiden hurdle at Sligo in August with a couple of more degrees of authority than that of Joseph O'Brien's Petit Tartare who landed a Listowel contest by ½L from Ballinska Band last month. Paris Texas and Whatsafellatodo can, as usually, run their races and are not completely ruled out.
  1. Epswell
  2. Petit Tartare
  3. Whatsafellatodo
