Atlantic Shore (11/8), Golden Nomad (4/1), Derby (6/1), Encore Lui (7/1), Florrie Webb (10/1), Diamond Grove (14/1), Champagne Paddy (14/1), Eagle Roque (16/1), Getaday (18/1), Castlegrange (18/1), An Marcach (33/1), Raining Bird (33/1), Big Debates (40/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (50/1)

FLORRIE WEBB proved a different proposition switched to chasing when second in a novice at Tramore and might well have won had he not been hampered when still a close second at the at the last. He's taken to improve past Atlantic Shore, who sets the standard but is much more exposed than the selection.
