Are You Around (13/8), Luck Between Us (2/1), Insouciant Dallier (4/1), Elsa Bay (7/1), Diaduit Buachaill (10/1), Snugsborough Force (22/1), A Mayo Breeze (66/1), Dunany Shore (100/1), Keaner's Boy (100/1)
Though rather disappointing at Listowel last month, ARE YOU AROUND had shown promise when third on her introduction in a Wexford bumper and she will prove hard to beat if able to get back on track now switched to hurdles. Luck Between Us is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Elsa Bay and newcomer Snugsborough Force.
