Instant Return (11/4), Kendancer (3/1), Ozone (10/3), Cafe Con Leche (7/1), Bajan Excell (8/1), King Pellinor (10/1), Bear Claws (14/1), Royal Aide (20/1), Moghram (33/1), Miss Oriental (33/1), Global Quality (33/1), Little Stone (100/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (100/1), La Capacite (100/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained KING PELLINOR looks an interesting hurdling recruit and can get off to the best possible start in this contest. The three-year-old has recently switched from owners from Smith/Tabor/Magnier and trainer Aidan O'Brien. Stablemate Ozone was a ready winner when last seen demolishing a 14 runner field over 1m4f on the AW at Dundalk earlier this month and can emerge as the biggest danger while the Charles Byrnes-trained Kendancer can make his presence felt on Irish debut. The more experienced Instant Return and Bajan Excell should not be underestimated.
