Jon Snow (2/7), The Very Man (11/8), Belfast Banter (5/1), Rebel Gold (17/2), Love The Melody (50/1)

The Gordon Elliott-trained THE VERY MAN could take all the beating if turning up here following a ready victory in the Listed Novice hurdle over 2m½f on Wednesday. The six-year-old who was eased on the run-in close home, can win for the fifth race in a row at the expense of the Willie Mullins-trained Jon Snow, winner last time out at the Curragh in June in a 2m contest on the Flat. Belfast Banter for trainer Peter Fahey and Rebel Gold for Thomas Foley can compete for the minor honours.
