Saldier (7/4), Vina Ardanza (2/1), Perfect Attitude (5/1), Caesar Rock (7/1), The Flier Begley (15/2), Summer Tide (9/1), Mercury Lane (22/1), Iconic Flame (150/1)

Verdict

VINA ARDANZA looked set to make a winning start in this sphere before departing at the last here back in August, so Gordon Elliott's 6-y-o gets the vote to make amends. One-time very smart hurdler Saldier made a winning chasing debut at Thurles in February and Willie Mullins' charge can get back on track after a lacklustre effort at Naas 9 weeks ago. Perfect Attitude and recent winner The Flier Begley can fight out third spot.

  1. VINA ARDANZA (IRE)

  3. PERFECT ATTITUDE
