| 1. Say It Ain't So | Successful in a hurdle race and a chase at 2m and 2m 4f on good and yielding ground. A winner at 40-1 in a chase at Clonmel over 2m 4f (yielding) on his latest outing last month, beating Manitopark Aa by 12l. |
| 2. Ash Tree Meadow | Back from let-up. Has a lot of early speed. Winner at Navan and placed three times this campaign. Can surprise. |
| 3. Ganapathi | In the money last start running third at Cork. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. P Townend and W P Mullins are a proven combination. A good chance. |
| 4. Genois | First-up after 27 week spell. Has a lot of early speed and M P Walsh has had success aboard previously. Genuine claims. |
| 5. Raven Rule | First-up after 38 week break. Has a lot of early speed but needs the breaks. |
