The Crafty Butcher (10/3), Sizing Codelco (4/1), Katnap (6/1), Sandymount Duke (7/1), Rogue Trader (9/1), O'Faolains Boy (10/1), Retour En France (10/1), Forever Gold (12/1), Hash Brown (12/1), Fine Theatre (12/1), Ttebbob (12/1), Space Cadet (14/1), Marinero (14/1), Heron Heights (16/1), Solstice Son (25/1)
Sizing Codelco produced a breathtaking display at Aintree and this hardly looks any more competitive. His new handler has unlocked the potential he has always promised to show and it would be no surprise to see him take this en-route to better things. He is set to concede 13lb here to SANDYMOUNT DUKE who had Tiger Roll 7L behind when scoring at Killarney last July. He goes well when fresh and has run two big races at the last two festivals here. Jessica Harrington has had a good week and has got him in here on a good mark. Hash Brown and Space Cadet are capable on their day and are worth noting in the market in an open race.
