Some potentially useful novice chasers on show, but BLEU BERRY made a promising start in this sphere when a strong-travelling third at Galway and can confirm that promise here. Fencing newcomer Buddy Rich rates the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained duo and is feared most with Birchdale considered too on his debut for Enda Bolger.

  1. BLEU BERRY (FR)
  2. BUDDY RICH (IRE)
  3. BIRCHDALE (IRE)
