Speirling (4/7), Yeats Mardy (10/3), Varkhann (6/1), Kalamkan (12/1), Rain In Spain (14/1), Subset (20/1), McCrackens Gate (20/1), Siamsa Cois Laoi (25/1), Devine Star (28/1), Wicket (33/1), Mollys Boxty (50/1)
Speirling has gone well enough recently at Roscommon and Galway in this sphere to suggest a win will come his way sooner or later. This is perhaps his best chance to date and he's got to be on any shortlist, though the market is unlikely to miss him. Varkhann shaped better on the Flat at Tramore over the weekend and could have a say if translating that to this discipline while Kalamkan also has a chance if the trip doesn't prove too sharp. YEATS MARDY has run well a couple of times in these contests already and is worth a chance coming back down in trip.
