Carlo Bianconi (9/4), Take Heart (3/1), Zoffman (4/1), Eastern Legend (6/1), Complete Fiction (8/1), Taipan (10/1), Sequoiaspirit (11/1), La Dame Blanche (12/1), Timourid (16/1), By Your Side (16/1), Jaafel (18/1), Morph Speed (66/1)

While it's a concern that JAAFEL has yet to strike on turf following 22 attempts, he is clearly effective on grass and could be worth chancing on the back of a very encouraging effort at Leopardstown last week. Carlo Bianconi was first past the post in a Sligo handicap last month and looks very dangerous off the same mark, while Take Heart is third choice. Taipan also merits respect and will be a threat if fit enough to do himself justice.
