Birchdale (9/2), Max Flamingo (11/2), Blackbow (7/1), Fakir D'alene (15/2), The Shunter (8/1), Gallant John Joe (11/1), Rebel Gold (12/1), Fan De Blues (14/1), Ten Ten (16/1), Mortal (18/1), Samcro (22/1), Minella Times (25/1), Annamix (28/1), Foxy Jacks (33/1), Winter Escape (33/1), Spyglass Hill (33/1), Definite Plan (40/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. FAKIR D'ALENE impressed with both his jumping and attitude when scoring on his handicap bow at Thurles so is fancied to complete his hat-trick at the chief expense of Rebel Gold who also arrives on the up. Gallant John Joe should strip fitter for his recent Punchestown fifth and is weighted to go well, while both Mortal and Birchdale figure on the shortlist too.
