Espoir D'allen (4/9), Wicklow Brave (9/2), Tombstone (6/1), Forge Meadow (9/1), Jarob (66/1)
ESPOIR D'ALLEN concedes weight here but his young legs may be up to it. He's come out fighting this season and landed Grade 3 wins over C&D and at Limerick with plenty spare to get his career firmly on track. Wicklow Brave would be the big danger on his best form, but his recent runs must rank as a major source of worry. Instead, Tombstone can chase home the selection having run so well in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown last month.
