Tenzing (5/4), Ramillies (6/4), Mahler Mission (6/1), Indiana Jones (13/2), Ballykeel (10/1), Decimation (10/1), Rajsalad (20/1), Gonedairy (125/1), Sweet Street (125/1)

Verdict

RAMILLIES quickly made up into a useful hurdler last term, successful at Punchestown prior to acquitting himself with credit in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham in March. Not at his best at Punchestown thereafter, he can be expected to do better now tackling larger obstacles (point winner). Stablemate Tenzing rates a big threat on the back of an excellent second on chase debut last month, with Ballykeel also worth a look.
