Bob Olinger (1/2), Capodanno (7/2), Gaillard Du Mesnil (11/2), Lifetime Ambition (25/1), West Cork Wildway (66/1), Gallant John Joe (66/1), Lieutenant Command (66/1), Forged In Fire (80/1)

A novice chase with a rich roll of honour in recent years and BOB OLINGER looks set to continue his rise with another victory. The sky is the limit over fences for the Ballymore winner and it will be disappointing were he to be beaten. Capodanno survived an almighty blunder when winning at Naas and could be the real deal, while there might be plenty more to come from Gaillard du Mesnil also.
