Hors Piste (8/11), Falcon Eight (11/4), Salvador Ziggy (15/2), The Friday Man (17/2), Another Choice (12/1), Arabian King (12/1), Must Be Dreaming (25/1), Whatdoyawanttoknow (33/1), She Is Electric (66/1), Beavis (66/1)

HORS PISTE built on her excellent third in a Fairyhouse Grade 1 when bolting up at Kilbeggan in May and can provide the Willie Mullins stable with a sixth win in this novice hurdle since 2016. Falcon Eight's Flat ability gives him the scope for better again over hurdles so he's feared most ahead of Gordon Elliott pair The Friday Man and Salvador Ziggy.
