Denis Ahern won the first running of this a year ago so his Mongress Boy goes onto the short-list.

Another youngster, Leave Him Alone, was always travelling nicely when scoring at Kildorrey and is another with plenty of scope while Handsome Dan got his act together with a convincing success at Dromahane a couple of weeks ago.
