Count Simon (6/4), Slippery Serpent (11/4), Laverteen (7/2), Andratx (8/1), Western Boy (14/1), Kuiper Belt (20/1)

Count Simon has been consistent without winning of late and the previous course winner should go well again here but he might do well shipping 6lb to SLIPPERY SERPENT. Paul Townend's mount is 2-2 at this track previously and can be forgiven his Leopardstown run at Christmas. Off a break, he should relish this. Andratx is another that loves the track and is now ripe after a spin around Fairyhouse.
