Barretstown (7/2), Dreams Delivered (4/1), Brosna Empress (5/1), Amazing Emma (11/2), Tullypole Annie (13/2), Caidok (11/1), Mass Gathering (12/1), Ablah (16/1), King Wasp (25/1), Lisabetta (28/1), Dream Katcher (28/1), Social Danzer (33/1), Jazz Dreamers (40/1), Viv Vance (50/1), Equulei (66/1)

BROSNA EMPRESS stepped up markedly on what she achieved in maidens when just touched off over this trip on nursery debut at Cork 10 days ago, likely to have got up in another stride or two. She gets the nod to confirm the improvement, with Barretstown, Dreams Delivered and Dream Katcher heading up the dangers.
