Everlastingpromise (3/1), Definiteadare (7/2), Harvey's Quay (4/1), An Marcach (9/2), Cute Cherry (15/2), Beating The Odds (10/1), Roisins Ciara (10/1), Gali Flight (12/1), Supreme Vinnie (14/1), Battle Of Benburb (16/1), Mrs Watson (18/1), Ballinoe Biden (22/1), Willywampus (33/1), Bodeenbelle (40/1), Three By Two (50/1), Fort William (50/1), Da Little Grey Lad (125/1)

DEFINITEADARE arrives at the top of his game and still with relatively few miles on the clock so he is fancied to follow up his Listowel success at the chief expense of the returning Beating The Odds who has won off a break before. Handicp-debutant Harvey's Quay is another who warrants plenty of respect.
