Shanroe (6/4), Papal Lodge (9/2), Battle Of Actium (6/1), Baltimore Bucko (13/2), All About Joe (15/2), Mighty Tom (11/1), Arthur's Baby (20/1), O Connell Street (25/1), Copia Verborum (33/1)

SHANROE looks the way to go here given he was still on the up when last seen over hurdles and has been in fine winning form on the level since. Papal Lodge is feared most on the back of his Punchestown victory, with Arthur's Baby a threat too if she can hurdle more fluently.
