Better Days Ahead (8/15), Nas Na Riogh (10/3), The Busy Fool (8/1), Annaghbeg (8/1), Zefiro Dodville (12/1), Marronstown (18/1), Ebony Jade (100/1), The Bay Horse (125/1), Sekakarma (150/1), Jerk (150/1), No Turn Unstoned (150/1), Rust To Riches (250/1), Paidin Beag (250/1), Google Belfast (250/1), Meoulflower (300/1)

BETTER DAYS AHEAD didn't do himself justice in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but this point winner remains a good hurdling prospect. The Busy Fool looked above average when making a winning debut in a Thurles bumper 3 weeks ago so must be respected, while point-winner Nas Na Riogh is worth a look in the betting.
