El Barra (7/4), Eye Van (9/4), Limestone Rock (3/1), Il Courra (15/2), Old Town Garde (9/1), Breakeven (16/1), Kilbree Warrior (18/1), Follow The Crowd (40/1), Tech Talk (100/1), Prince Of Gems (125/1), Davitt Road Glory (150/1), Steak And Onions (150/1), Ifeoinly (150/1), Go All The Way (200/1), Sunshine Beach (250/1), Memories Never Die (250/1), Champagne Rebel (250/1), Florida Gold (300/1), Indevango (300/1)

LIMESTONE ROCK showed plenty when placed in a bumper and novice hurdle here and is preferred to El Barra, who created a really good impression when winning a bumper but reportedly bled on his hurdles bow 5 weeks ago.
