Zaccarela (3/1), Satin Sun (9/2), Mattie's Mountain (5/1), Dragon's Pass (8/1), Feyan (11/1), Delirious Love (11/1), Duhallow Paddy (12/1), Trouble And Strife (14/1), Johanna Yeats (16/1), Dessie Deschamps (20/1), Influential Lady (20/1), Toor Hawk (25/1), Lunastar (28/1), Rocconrockall (28/1), Emir De Rots (28/1), Oscer Romero (33/1), Bowser (33/1), Giftedtokate (40/1), Thedapperdoyen (50/1), Hughies Bay (50/1), Celine Soprano (50/1), Scanimax (50/1), Utmost Faith (80/1)

SATIN SUN looks the one to focus on arriving on the back of a fine second at Thurles with the promise of more to come now stepped up in trip, and Paul Townend taking the ride for the first time, too. Trouble And Strife should step forward from her recent Limerick fourth so rates the chief threat, although Zaccarela is also weighted to have a say.
