Merlin Giant (8/11), Dubeyeracingcraic (10/3), Impero (15/2), Knight Sleeper (15/2), Moon Over Claddagh (14/1), Valkyrie Gray (16/1), Barnacullia (20/1), Spring Wind (20/1), Wasthatok (22/1), Lough Alina (150/1)

MERLIN GIANT was below his best over hurdles on his most recent start but his profile on the Flat is a solid one and he could well be worth siding with to get back on track under Colin Keane. Impero and Knight Sleeper may emerge as the chief threats.
