Bleu Berry (4/6), Poseidon (4/1), Goodbye Someday (15/2), Buddy Rich (8/1), Birchdale (10/1), One Down (10/1), Dancing On My Own (10/1), Max Flamingo (11/1), Nero Rock (14/1), Kemstar (500/1)
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.
