Kilcruit (4/5), Ballycairn (4/1), Alko Rouge (4/1), Killer Mode (5/1), Knockmoylan (14/1), What Next (33/1), Gaelic Des Chastys (40/1), Dothislikethis (40/1), Champagne Rebel (200/1), Trying My Best (200/1)

KILCRUIT made a bright start at Clonmel in March, chasing home a well-regarded one from the stable he has since joined, and he could be hard to beat 8 months on. Newcomer Killer Mode makes plenty of appeal, while Ballycairn could go well starting out for Gordon Elliott.
