Icare Desbois (5/4), Butcher Hollow (7/2), Nas Na Riogh (4/1), Cleatus Poolaw (11/2), Special Cadeau (11/2), Howdoyalikeherhome (66/1), Beggars Rock (100/1), Spellacy's Cross (150/1), King Kali (200/1), Ballyeden Close (250/1), Mrs Millionaire (250/1), Hurry Up Flower (250/1)

Verdict

ICARE DESBOIS took a marked step forward when third in a strong contest at Leopardstown a month ago and his bumper form gives him the scope for better still, so he's preferred to Nas Na Riogh, who is going the right way. Butcher Hollow is also of interest.
