Different Beat (7/2), Allora Yeats (4/1), Confusionanddelay (5/1), Monty's Mission (7/1), Punters Poet (9/1), Likable Chancer (11/1), Zamond (12/1), Rule Of June (12/1), Tropical Stream (18/1), Lady Of The Sea (22/1), Northern Love (33/1), Unlaoised (33/1), Carrigeen Lactuca (40/1), Howsitgoinglohan (50/1), Lucky Buck (50/1), Talsara (66/1), Ballykilmurray (125/1)

DIFFERENT BEAT opened her account on just her second outing for Gavin Cromwell at Ballinrobe last month and, with further improvement likely up in trip, she's clearly the one to beat. Allora Yeats is a danger if she can back up her latest effort, while Zamond is a notable handicap debutant.
