High Class Hero (6/4), Shannon Royale (2/1), Loughglynn (9/2), Now Is The Hour (10/1), Grand Soir (16/1), Buachaillbocht (22/1), Jeel Des Mottes (300/1)

HIGH CLASS HERO was the best of these over hurdles and sure to be well prepared for this chase debut, he looks the answer. Shannon Royale sets a pretty good standard over fences though and his limit has not yet been reached, with Grand Soir also considered.
