Ocean Reach (3/1), Tahan (4/1), Lady Elysia (9/2), Adams Park (9/2), Cafe Sydney (5/1), Howardian Hills (13/2), Halfacrown (8/1), Aria Rose (11/1), Filament Of Gold (14/1), Sparrow Hawk (25/1), Ingleby Exile (33/1), Last Chance Paddy (40/1), Liimari (66/1)

TAHAN failed to win a race when trained in Ireland, including over hurdles, but he's joined a yard at improving new inmates and given he has a basement mark to work with, a big run may well be forthcoming. Cafe Sydney and Ocean Reach are solid opponents.
