Westport Cove (10/11), Diamboy Des Carres (11/8), Summer Melody (7/2), Ankud (13/2), An Peann Dearg (13/2), Burru (14/1), Frontispiece (20/1), Wandering Rocks (28/1), Port Nelson (33/1), Evans Secret (33/1), Givehimthehonour (50/1), Coulrophobia (100/1), Lorca (125/1), The Dooner Citizen (125/1), Symbas Spirit (150/1), Knocknaconnery (250/1), Youmli (250/1), Anycity (250/1)

WESTPORT COVE looked a good prospect when winning his first outing in bumpers and his only subsequent run is easily excused, so he's the most appealing on hurdling debut after 8 months off. Diamboy Des Carres is the danger following a good second in a novice hurdle at Gowran and Summer Melody is likely to return to form back in calmer waters.
