Pale Blue Dot (13/8), Something Sweet (5/1), Champ Royal (5/1), Earths Furies (6/1), Yulong Voice (8/1), Difficult Decision (17/2), Lesssaidthebetter (16/1), Sphagnum (20/1), Porky Rush (20/1), Nicole's Milan (20/1), Delias Pet (22/1), Classic Concorde (25/1), Ah Littleluck (25/1), Cher Why Not (33/1), Fill The Tank (33/1), Back The West (33/1), Varkhann (40/1), Darkened (40/1), Cafe Del Mar (50/1), Brogine (50/1), Kingoftheroses (50/1)

This step back up in trip could be just the ticket for CHAMP ROYAL, who was a creditable third on his handicap debut at Navan last month and a 3 lb rise for that effort is fair. Something Sweet can also be expected to benefit from moving back up in distance on the back of her encouraging Leopardstown effort and she is next on the list. Pale Blue Dot and Earths Furies are others to consider.
