Stealthy Tom (5/4), Shes Some Doll (8/1), Feyan (8/1), Esthers Marvel (9/1), Pairc Na Ngael (11/1), Krisquin (11/1), Presenting Cody (12/1), Walking The Walk (12/1), Fly De Megaudais (16/1), Tesseract (22/1), Earths Furies (25/1), Young Jack Yates (25/1), Mezyan (25/1), Meehall (25/1), Top Question (28/1), Repeat That (33/1), Trans Wood (50/1), Arch Melody (50/1)

Verdict

STEALTHY TOM upped his game significantly when second in a Cross-Country event at Punchestown last time and, although this is a whole different test, anything like a reproduction of that form would see him defy a mark of 96, so he gets the nod ahead of Esthers Marvel, who landed a novice at Kilbeggan recently. Pairc Na Ngael can get involved if he's fit.

  1. STEALTHY TOM (IRE)
  2. ESTHERS MARVEL (IRE)
  3. PAIRC NA NGAEL (IRE)
