The Busy Fool (5/4), Paggane (13/8), Majestic Force (13/8), Syracus Du Houx (4/1), Whale Harbour (6/1), Cut The Rope (10/1), Kilkee Bay (14/1), Kinturk Jack (66/1), Splendid Choice (200/1), Wakie Wakie (250/1)

PAGGANE has been shaping up quite well and is taken to make it fourth time lucky over hurdles. Henry de Bromhead point recruit Majestic Force is a potentially dangerous opponent, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. The Busy Fool is another to consider.
