Arrycan (7/2), Fleurys Fort (4/1), More Wine Lilly (7/1), No Way Pedro (15/2), Hophornbeam (15/2), Bartleys Boy (10/1), Offaly Star (10/1), Rags Kitten (12/1), Lopito (14/1), Novano (14/1), Truckers Tangle (14/1), Rebelle Chaud (22/1), A Mere Bagatelle (33/1), Bar Room Bore (40/1), Corrigaleen (50/1), Gloves On (50/1), Monoxide (50/1)
