Jenny Flex (4/1), Hand Over Fist (5/1), Navigator Jack (5/1), Chapel Street (7/1), Ask Charlie (8/1), On My Bike (17/2), Makfils (17/2), Forest Pump (14/1), Ciankyle (14/1), The Great White (20/1), Attitash (20/1), Champagne Vacation (22/1), Dont Doubt Me (25/1), Ben Thomson (28/1), Ace Aussie (33/1), Sweet Bonnie (33/1), Mutadaawel (50/1), Quickbuck (50/1)

Verdict

JENNY FLEX shaped well when fifth at Downpatrick a couple of months ago and there's every chance her top yard can get some improvement out of her now, so she's preferred to in-form pair Chapel Street and Hand Over Fist

  1. JENNY FLEX (IRE)
  2. CHAPEL STREET (IRE)
  3. HAND OVER FIST (FR)
