Rocky's Howya (1/1), Willitgoahead (7/2), Con's Roc (6/1), Trooper Carton (15/2), West Of Carrig (11/1), Drumnasoo (12/1), Kingston Coole (14/1), Dromleigh (16/1), Hitak (18/1), Wine An Dine (22/1), Bigbraveboy (28/1), Grageen (28/1), Magic Sadler (33/1), Look Dont Touch (80/1), Nibbles (100/1), Barton Sky (125/1), Headcorn (200/1), Jet Fighter (200/1), Step Up Son (300/1)

Verdict

ROCKY'S HOWYA arrives in form from points and, based on his fourth at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival when last seen under Rules, he should be tough to beat. Willitgoahead has won his last 3 starts between the flags and looks the chief threat ahead of Drumnasoo.

  1. ROCKY'S HOWYA (IRE)
  2. WILLITGOAHEAD (IRE)
  3. DRUMNASOO (IRE)
