Huit Reflets (15/8), Judicial Law (9/4), Our Man Flint (15/2), Miss Drussell (8/1), Kilmer (10/1), Baron Von Melas (11/1), Katie's Fortune (22/1), Jades Dream (25/1), Morning Logic (33/1), Wotsmyname (40/1), Regal Statesman (40/1), Shandancer (50/1), Well P (50/1), Power On Tullassa (50/1), Margarita Baby (80/1)

JUDICIAL LAW made a positive start when fourth in a listed event at Limerick and should have learned from the experience, so he's an obvious choice under Derek O'Connor. Huit Reflets is out of a bumper winner, so he warrants respect, while the booking of Patrick Mullins on Our Man Flint catches the eye.
