Favori De Champdou (8/13), Joyeux Machin (11/4), Bella Bliss (15/2), Donacheady Gale (9/1), Gaelic Arc (20/1), Tullyhogue Fort (66/1)

Verdict

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU has the most class in this field and, if none the worse for his fall in the Irish Grand National, he should be able to get the better of Joyeux Machin in a race that the pair are likely to dominate.
