Strongbowe (5/1), Cyrus Dallin (5/1), The Mpex Kid (11/2), Yafordadoe (6/1), Legal Thriller (8/1), Kells (17/2), David Garrick (9/1), Defilade (9/1), Memyselfandmoi (11/1), Ocean Monarch (14/1), Phoenix Open (18/1), Crassus (18/1), Tony The Gent (22/1), Monzoon (22/1), Aussie Valentine (40/1), Eden Gardens (80/1)

YAFORDADOE was left with too much to do at Galway a couple of weeks ago and is worth another chance to show he's on a favourable mark on the Flat. The lightly-raced Strongbowe was trapped wide on his Leopardstown handicap debut last time and remains open to improvement, while Memyselfandmoi wasn't seen to best effect at the Curragh last time and it's still early days for him with Joseph O'Brien.
