Classical Creek
Point winner who made easy work of his rules debut at Down Royal before a respectable Listed third to re-opposing stablemate Kalypso'chance at Navan; likely to see him in a better light over longer distances but not without a chance.

Colcannon
Runner-up in a bumper at this meeting last season before an impressive success at Galway in October and justified significant market support to win a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival; that form has been boosted by the runner-up winning a bumper (also finished seventh in the Champion Bumper) and the fourth (Green Splendour) landing the Grade 2 Aintree bumper; this has been the long term plan and he has to be on the shortlist.

Copacabana
Very impressive in a testing ground Navan bumper and probably had a bit too much to do when 9-2 for the Champion Bumper last month; likely to be a big player in this smaller field and while his future probably lies over further, he's capable of running a big race.

Kalypso'chance
Point winner who was 2-2 in bumpers prior to his 10l defeat when sent off favourite for the Champion Bumper last month; talented but needs to settle better to land this and the small field may not help on that front.

Sunny South West
Promising fifth in a Thurles bumper before getting off the mark in a Clonmel bumper last month but that's a long way short of the required standard.

Bambino Fever
Won her rules debut here and couldn't have been any more impressive in the Grade 2 at the Dublin Racing Festival; well positioned when making it three from three under rules in the Champion Bumper and won going away; the mares' allowance helps and another big effort expected.

Switch From Diesel
Chased home Bambino Fever at the Dublin Racing Festival before a Naas bumper win and now bids for a hat-trick after a Listed success at Fairyhouse earlier this month; hard to see turning around the Bambino Fever form though.
