French Dynamite (9/4), Assemble (3/1), Front View (13/2), Five O'Clock (7/1), Drury (7/1), Cavalry Master (10/1), Home By The Lee (14/1), Ferocious (20/1), The Little Yank (50/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained FRONT VIEW can land the spoils in the feature event. The five-year-old can build on a fine win at Cork in November at the expense of C&D winner French Dynamite who can emerge as the biggest danger representing a resurgent Mouse Morris yard. Assemble is better than his last run suggests and holds an entry in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham festival can compete for remaining prize money with Drury for the trainer/jockey combination of Willie Mullins and Paul Townend.
