Heathyards Lad (IRE) Well beaten on two hurdles starts
Natural (IRE) Rated around 60+ on the flat; McCoy booking a positive.
Samba Sharply Formerly useful on the flat in the mid 90's but question marks as to how effective he is nowadays.

Cruagh Express (IRE) Modest 6f to 8f horse on the flat; best watched today.
Fayrway Rhythm (IRE) Has something to prove today but Mick Fitzgerald is the ideal man to have in the saddle.

Angel Lane Fairly modest on the flat and opposed despite the booking of Timmy Murphy.
Lady Vienna Exposed at claiming level and likely to need the run.
Free Kevin Doesn't look good enough
John Steed (IRE) Readily opposed
