Run For Paddy Outclassed behind Lady Rebecca last time but had previously gone close against Mister Banjo; sure to be thereabouts.
Janus du Cochet (FR) Outpaced by smart Bilboa over two miles last time and today's trip looks right up his street; leading contender.
Montalcino (IRE) Decent flat handicapper who ompressed on hurdling bow; could prove to be anything over timber and looks one to keep on the right side.
Royal Auclair (FR) Ex-French racer open to any amount of improvement after good show last time out; sure to command plenty of support from Pipe enthusiasts and can't be dismissed in a tricky race.
Takeyourtime Outclassed and impossible to make a case for.
Diletia Out of her depth and very difficult to fancy.
Cornish Gale (IRE) Sure to pick up a race or two before too long, but this looks too tough at this stage of his career.
Mardani (IRE) Showed plenty of promise on only outing over hurdles but looks to have too much on his plate today.
Midland Flame (IRE) Looks a future improver but has been thrown in at the deep end here and doen't look quite up to the task.
Ocean Line (IRE) Has won a couple of small races but looks out of his depth in this company.
Razer Blade Plenty of smart form to his name including against St Pirran and First Ballott and looks sure to give another good account of himself.
Rostropovich (IRE) Irish raider originally aimed at the Royal & Sun Alliance Hurdle; decent form to his name but possibly needs to improve a few pounds to be in at the finish.
Full Ahead (IRE) Caught close home in Grade D event at Doncaster last time and looks to have too much on his plate today.
