Getaway Katie Mai (7/4), Peruvian Lily (5/1), Mount Jannu (5/1), The Tooth Fairy (7/1), Dawn Of The West (11/1), For Your Eyes (12/1), Midnight Sunshine (16/1), Romantically (16/1), Theodosi (25/1), Claiomh Geal (33/1), Postcode Envy (66/1), Hattie Amarin (100/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained MOUNT JANNU can land the opener, improving from her first run at the Galway festival earlier this month. The daughter of Cape Cross was keeping on strongly in the closing stages to finish an encouraging fourth of 10 and she can hold off the attentions of The Tooth Fairy who can emerge as the biggest danger. The Dermot Weld newcomer Midnight Sunshine merits respect while a big run from Peruvian Lily would not surprise.
