Fighter Allen (11/4), West Cork Wildway (10/3), Grand Paradis (7/2), Limestone Rock (9/2), Jacksons Gold (15/2), Goodbye Someday (14/1), Rescue Package (14/1), D'alley Boy (300/1)

GRAND PARADIS was an impressive winner of a big-field Fairyhouse maiden hurdle recently and can take this step up in class in his stride. Indeed, there should be plenty more to come from this 5-y-o who, judged on pedigree, is likely to relish this stiffer test. The tough and consistent Goodbye Someday will offer stern resistance, while Limestone Rock is also accorded respect.
