My Friend The Wind (5/2), Glenmalure Lodge (7/2), Courting Vickie (11/2), Father Jed (13/2), Rudy Catrail (8/1), Definetly Darsi (11/1), Kilashee (12/1), Crimson Chief (18/1), Howsthewoman (25/1), Gonedairy (25/1), Elegant Dan (28/1), Glan Gap (40/1), Daicheadacuig (40/1), Justakeg (50/1), Gone Galavanting (100/1)

Verdict

It might be worth chancing that MY FRIEND THE WIND can keep the mistakes to a minimum as his recent course hurdle success shows he's returned in good form and his near miss in a handicap chase at Galway last autumn shows he is capable over fences. Second choice is Rudy Catrail who had an excuse last time and had been in good form prior to that. Glenmalure Lodge has been knocking on the door over hurdles in recent months and also makes the shortlist.

  1. MY FRIEND THE WIND (IRE)
  2. RUDY CATRAIL (IRE)
  3. GLENMALURE LODGE (IRE)
