Road To Respect (9/4), Monalee (11/2), Shattered Love (6/1), Kemboy (8/1), Bellshill (8/1), Balko Des Flos (8/1), Anibale Fly (10/1), Coney Island (14/1), Disko (14/1), The Storyteller (20/1), Outlander (25/1), Edwulf (25/1)

ROAD TO RESPECT won this Grade 1 last year and, on the evidence of last month's Champion Chase success at Down Royal, may be even better now. He had Outlander (goes well here) and Balko Des Flos cooked a long way out that afternoon and should prove a tough nut to crack. Bellshill beat the selection at Punchestown in the spring but Willie Mullins' charge undoubtedly would prefer going right-handed. C&D winner Anibale Fly, third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, could be the biggest danger ahead of improving Kemboy and the returning Disko.
