Aodhan May (11/4), Cher Why Not (9/2), Bocelli's Voice (5/1), Kiln Time (11/2), Cosmo Renfro (13/2), Duffys Getaway (7/1), Native Gold (10/1), Ferrum (14/1), Cloudy Fountain (22/1), See A Stride (25/1), I Don't Get It (50/1)
Plenty in with chances but preference is for veteran CHER WHY NOT, who is holding his form really well this season and was unlucky to bump into a big improver at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. He can get the better of Aodhan May, who belied market weakness to register a first success over hurdles at Navan 10 days ago and could kick on now up and running. Native Gold and Cosmo Renfro can fight out third.
