Wonder Elzaam (2/1), Mosala (11/4), Turbo Command (9/2), Jungle Cove (6/1), Solene Lilyette (7/1), Abeona (12/1), Kushkame (14/1), Anjah (14/1), Realtanua (20/1), Soineanta (22/1), Socratic (25/1), Dream Round (33/1), Vento Del Drago (33/1), Knight Of Malta (40/1), Leviosa (50/1), The Bank Of Dad (66/1), Amazon Warrior (80/1)

MOSALA produced his best effort to date when second over C&D under a positive ride last time and, with a similar level of performance, he may be able to go one better despite stall 15. Abeona, who stayed on nicely at Cork on her final outing for Ger Lyons, could also get involved starting out for a new yard, though there are plenty with chances.
