Lord Gillygooley (7/4), Porky Rush (6/1), Mutual Respect (7/1), Yamato (8/1), Wavylake (9/1), Ruler Of Dubai (11/1), Royal Recital (11/1), Balgowlah (12/1), Anno Maximo (14/1), I Don't Get It (16/1), Jubatus (16/1), Something Sweet (20/1), Belles Benefit (20/1), Some Venture (25/1), Stockdale (33/1), Drimsree Lad (33/1), Double Windsor (50/1), Royal Presenting (50/1), Royal Finesse (200/1)

LORD GILLYGOOLEY has been much improved in recent weeks, going through the race as if ahead of his mark when second at Listowel 6 days ago, and he should make a bold bid. Yamato and Porky Rush head the dangers.
