Warreedy (11/4), Rippon Lodge (4/1), Mickey Shea (6/1), Need For Gold (13/2), Our Majella (10/1), Fly De Megaudais (12/1), Circling Moon (14/1), Greenandwhitearmy (14/1), I'm Serious (14/1), Boston Babe (16/1), Rule Of June (18/1), Ainmisfearr (18/1), Mezyan (25/1), Yeats Mardy (28/1), But I Like It (40/1), Laughing Trix (50/1), Vodka Society (100/1)

WARREEDY had little chance with an enterprisingly-ridden rival at Tipperary 3 weeks ago, but he beat the other 13 runners and holds sound claims from just 1 lb higher. Boston Babe remains a maiden but can make her presence felt, with Our Majella another to consider back up in trip.
