Henry's Friend (30/100), Bleu D'enfer (9/2), Serious Operator (10/1), Had To Be Hugo (12/1), Star Flyer (33/1), Largy Train (150/1), Army's Dream (250/1)

HENRY'S FRIEND ran well in Grade 2 company last time and he will surely have to underperform if he is to be beaten back in this grade. Bleu d'Enfer has to bounce back from a tame show last time but he'd rate as the biggest threat on the form of his Punchestown effort, with Kelso-winner Serious Operator best of the rest.
