1. Bob Olinger 2. Gaillard Du Mesnil 3. Bravemansgame

Bob Olinger ranks highly among the most exciting novice hurdlers and can take all the beating. The six-year-old took the step up to top-level company with aplomb at Naas in January, defeating Blue Lord, who has since run well behind Supreme hopes Appreciate It and Ballyadam. Fellow Grade 1 winners Gaillard Du Mesnil and Bravemansgame have sound claims but Bob Olinger is the pick in what promises to be a quality race won by Envoi Allen, Samcro and Faugheen since 2014.
