Herbiegoesbananas (2/1), Effernock Lad (9/2), Musical Ava (6/1), James Boru (8/1), Accordion Twilight (9/1), Zagnzig (10/1), Tagg's Island (10/1), Love The Well (12/1), Midland Millie (14/1), Rising (20/1), Jack Wade (25/1), Derecho Storm (33/1)

The fitness on comeback from a 842 day sabbatical for the Willie Mullins-trained Herbiegoesbananas can only be taken on trust so it may be worth siding on this occasion with the John Burke-trained MUSICAL AVA who can go well at a price. The daughter of Court Cave found the step up in trip beyond her at Tipperary last month and will be much more suited to today's conditions. Tagg's Island in first time cheekpieces and potential improver Love The Well are entitled to sit on the shortlist.
