With there still being an element of uncertainty as to how many of the will turn up after their participation in the Galway Plate, we'll go with MENGLI KHAN who regained the winning thread over hurdles last time out. His rating of 150 gives him a solid chance and although his form tailed off over the larger obstacles last year, he was a smart novice and should now have his confidence back. The Storyteller is officially 8lb clear of his nearest rival (Mengli Khan) on ratings, but would need to bounce back from his no show in the Plate on Wednesday. Livelovelaugh & Robin Des Foret ran well in that contest and would also have claims if turning up.
