Snugsborough Hall (11/4), Impact Factor (7/2), Moon Over Germany (7/2), Bun Doran (8/1), Mind's Eye (9/1), Eamon An Cnoic (14/1), Croco Bay (16/1), Don't Touch It (20/1), Stowaway Forever (20/1), Tycoon Prince (28/1), Doctor Phoenix (33/1), Nearly Nama'd (40/1)
Impact Factor's recent Fairyhouse win might have played out differently had Mind's Eye not run out late on and taken SNUGSBOROUGH HALL with. The selection has improved this spring and can atone for some desperate luck there. Bottom weight Stowaway Forever isn't crossed off while Aintree winner Moon Over Germany should have more to offer and joins the consistent Bun Doran on the shortlist. Cheltenham winner Croco Bay will have claims if he replicates that run.
