Sleeping Night (FR) Has decent form in France and trainer beginning to hit top form; respected.
Shotgun Willy (IRE) Progressive last season when finishing; has won first time out before and acts on any ground; must be respected from in-form stable.
Sackville (IRE) Progressive chaser who strung together a long winning sequence last season and must be respected despite a below par run on his reappearance.
Flying Instructor Generally inconsistent although has undoubted ability; stable in desperate form however and others preferred here.
Legal Right (USA) Lightly-raced top class chaser; won well first time out last season and should have no problem landing this.
Streamstown (IRE) A number of good efforts last season but basic level of form looks below what is required here.
Beau (IRE) Fairly consistent chaser but suspicion that he is below top class; others preferred.
Lord Noelie (IRE) Not up to his best last season but prior to that had been progressive over fences; could put up a bold show if coming back to his best.
Scotmail Boy (IRE) No real chance on all available form.
Folly Road (IRE) Hopelessly outclassed.
