No Thanks (5/2), Glendars Mahler (4/1), West Of Carrig (7/1), Movie King (17/2), Sarah's Soldier (10/1), Oskar High (10/1), Moyvilla Lass (12/1), Duncarrig (12/1), Johanna Yeats (14/1), Father Jed (20/1), Jakes Dream (20/1), Laishann (25/1), Rockon Henry (25/1), Treyarnon Bay (33/1), That's About Right (33/1), Oh'herewego (50/1), Comeragh Belle (100/1)

MOVIE KING was never in it over fences last time but had done well over hurdles prior to that and might prove the answer to this handicap hurdle. Moyvilla Lass has run 2 sound races since switching to handicaps and is second choice ahead of That's About Right, who rates a potential improver now handicapping for the first time.
