Zipster (10/3), Faoladh (7/2), Tilani (7/2), Cordouan (6/1), Ransom (15/2), James Henry (8/1), Everylittlestep (12/1), Selective Power (12/1), Rampage (12/1), Thompson Gunner (14/1), Loingseoir (14/1), Methgal (20/1), Showhound (20/1), Mythical Rock (25/1), Tuba (33/1), Haughty (50/1), Titan Sun (66/1), Temple City (100/1)

This is wide open but ZIPSTER hails from a yard in excellent nick so is fancied to build on his good recent third here now dropped back in trip and resume winning ways. Faoladh heads the list of dangers on the back of a very good C&D second, with both Tilani and Cordouan both firmly in the picture too. Tuba completes the shortlist.
