Tangental (9/2), He Fitz In (9/2), One Horse Army (5/1), Cullenwaine (5/1), A Great Buzz (6/1), Starlight Cato (15/2), Chosen Shant (15/2), On The Tide (16/1), Hunt Museum (25/1), Rose Of Kalanisi (40/1)

Verdict

CULLENWAINE improved on previous chase form to finally take advantage of a lower mark in this sphere at Thurles 4 weeks ago and remains on a workable mark in this sphere. Chosen Shant shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests starting out for this yard at Naas last month and is an interesting contender, while He Fitz In is potentially on a nice mark back over fences.
