Corbetts Cross (13/8), Flooring Porter (3/1), Favori De Champdou (3/1), Grangeclare West (4/1), Flanking Maneuver (18/1), Tullyhogue Fort (300/1)

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU produced a flawless round of jumping when landing the Florida Pearl in fine style at Punchestown last month, and he is taken to provide trainer Gordon Elliott with a sixth win in this Grade 1 contest. Corbetts Cross and Grangeclare West are both potentially smart novices, too, while former top staying hurdler Flooring Porter is also feared now back on a left-handed track after hanging badly left when third to the selection at Punchestown.
