Back On The Lash (10/3), Plan Of Attack (9/2), Diesel D'Allier (6/1), Midnight Maestro (6/1), Singing Banjo (12/1), Balko Des Flos (12/1), Alpha Des Obeaux (12/1), Potters Corner (14/1), Talkischeap (14/1), Mortal (20/1), Fox Pro (22/1), Super Citizen (40/1), Blast Of Koeman (40/1), Ballyboker Bridge (50/1), Call It Magic (80/1), Mr Diablo (100/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. Enda Bolger has a good record in this event so MIDNIGHT MAESTRO gets the nod having made a promising start in the cross-country scene when second at Punchestown last month. Plan of Attack and Singing Banjo both acquitted themselves really well over C&D last time and seem sure to be on the premises, while Back On The Lash and Balko des Flos are on the shortlist too.
