Swelltime (3/1), Sil Ver Klass (5/1), Benz (5/1), Britzka (11/2), Sea Sessions (8/1), Intend (11/1), Star Of Burma (12/1), Majestic Jewel (16/1), Universal Focus (16/1), Oranmore (16/1), Wish Me (16/1), Arcland (18/1), Molly Kaye (20/1), Sign From Above (20/1), Colenso (20/1), Brehon Star (25/1), Bolero (25/1), Mastermind (28/1), A Few Bob Short (50/1), Formal Order (80/1), Boing (100/1)

SWELLTIME did it nicely over C&D under Seamie Herffernan last week and might be able to defy a 3 lb nudge from the handicapper. Gordon Elliott's Benz and Tony Martin's Sil Ver Klass are possible threats in this very open finale. Sea Sessions could also have a part to play if she's ready to roll on her first outing since the Cheltenham Festival in March.
