Allora Yeats (5/2), Ask David (5/1), Esthers Marvel (11/2), Miraculum (7/1), Let Her Flow (9/1), Danegeld (11/1), Rule Of June (12/1), Peter Pat (12/1), Piranto (14/1), Slainte And Thanks (18/1), Therellalwaysbeone (20/1), Chrisaldy (20/1), Strong Roots (20/1), Knockraha Katie (22/1), Wild Rumour (22/1), Mcgill (25/1), Rachel's Surprise (33/1), Doo Wakka Doo (33/1), Judy's Girl (33/1), Arctic Sofia (33/1), Scanimax (50/1), Mine Me Will He (66/1), Unlaoised (66/1), Alkaa Lion (66/1), Bally Dun Liss (100/1), California King (100/1), Getaway Gold (100/1)

ALLORA YEATS produced her best effort over hurdles when a close second at Clonmel last time and should go well again off a similar mark. Miraculum is also of interest and is feared most ahead of Esthers Marvel.
