Bell Ex One (7/4), Social Distance (3/1), Sheishybrid (5/1), Figlio D'arte (8/1), Brehon Star (12/1), Starla (14/1), Catherine Chroi (16/1), In The Attic (16/1), Cosa Sara (18/1), Project Two (66/1), Lucky Shot (80/1)

BELL EX ONE was runner-up to Social Distance at Roscommon last week but the winner seemed suited by the step up in trip that day so Bell Ex One is taken to reverse the placings over this shorter distance on 4 lb better terms. Sheishybrid seems to have been brought along with handicaps in mind so an improved showing wouldn't surprise.
