Tonkinese (6/5), Royal Admiral (9/2), Dalileo (5/1), Itsalonglongroad (5/1), Maysonlight (12/1), Swift Wing (16/1), Ardamir (18/1), Throwaway Line (25/1), Castle Chase (25/1), Timemakesitfine (28/1), Irish Art (50/1), Townes (50/1), Early Strike (50/1), Headline Joe (66/1), Captain Cobajay (150/1), Heatstroke (200/1), Derby De Thaix (250/1)

TONKINESE ran creditably in a handicap from a mark in the mid-80s here last time and is probably the one to beat now dropping into a claimer. Itsalonglongroad edged out Royal Admiral in a similar event here earlier in the month and they could be the pair to give Joseph O'Brien's charge most to think about.
