Full Moon Magic (5/1), Peregrine Run (11/2), Shumaker (7/1), Rock On Seamie (8/1), Grace To Grace (8/1), El Tren (9/1), Place Des Vosges (9/1), Cardinal Rule (10/1), Buckman Tavern (12/1), Custers Mistake (14/1), Brilliant Question (14/1), Hazran (16/1), Recent Revelations (16/1), Maria Christina (20/1), Loingseoir (22/1), Commentariolus (25/1), Landing Zone (25/1), Belgoprince (40/1), Fiadhna (50/1), Van Wert (50/1), Chess Grand Master (80/1)

GRACE TO GRACE wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last time and was only just denied at Roscommon the time before, so is worth another chance. This does look wide-open, though, with her stablemate Full Moon Magic and smart-chaser Peregrine Run others to consider.
