Farouk D'Alene (2/9), Grangeclare Native (7/2), Legacy Thor (9/2), Pat's Pick (13/2), Davy's Dilemma (18/1), Shortcross Storm (80/1), Dararian (80/1), Sam Lorenzo (125/1), Mutual Respect (125/1), Datsdacraic (150/1)

Verdict

Gordon Elliott has dominated this race in recent years and that theme looks likely to continue, with dual bumper winner FAROUK D'ALENE taken to remain unbeaten now switching to hurdles. What threat there is may come from stablemate Grangeclare Native assuming he's none the worse for his Gowran tumble at the beginning of the month.

  1. FAROUK D'ALENE (FR)
  2. GRANGECLARE NATIVE (IRE)
  3. LEGACY THOR (IRE)
