Force De Frap (7/2), Yellow Jacket (7/2), Ballybeg Boss (4/1), Hector Master (6/1), Valirann Gold (6/1), Abaya Du Mathan (17/2), Higgs (12/1), Royal Act (33/1)

BALLYBEG BOSS ultimately proved a shade disappointing over hurdles last season but this former point winner is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping/switched to fences off what looks a very reasonable opening mark. Force de Frap is interesting back in this sphere (placed on a few occasions over fences when trained in France) and he is second choice ahead of Abaya du Mathan.
