Eye Van (2/1), Sam Magee (9/4), Smooth Player (5/1), Barometer (11/2), Cardamon Hill (11/2), Round The Square (8/1), Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa (11/1), Ottizzini (12/1), Moonface (20/1), Ringdufferin (25/1), Rowdy Romeo (33/1), Cosmo Renfro (50/1), Windgap Warrior (80/1), Nowinittowinit (100/1), Champagnegaloppen (150/1), The Belmont Boys (200/1), Wee Jerry (200/1), Do As Your Told (200/1), Lockdown Daisy (250/1)

Verdict

EYE VAN sets a good standard so has to be considered the one to beat, though strong market support for Rules-newcomer Sam Magee would put a slightly different slant on matters. Barometer shaped well on his recent hurdling debut at Cork and is another to consider, along with Smooth Player.
