Carrarea (11/8), Happy Du Mesnil (3/1), Noble Birth (4/1), Whatsavailable (5/1), Park Hind (10/1), Neveradullmoment (18/1), The Waltzer (22/1), Sarah Runsfor Jack (40/1), Old Soul (40/1), Crowsatedappletart (40/1), Captain Conby (66/1), Choice Of Mine (66/1), Country Of Poets (100/1), Andy Ru (125/1), Da Little Grey Lad (150/1), Free Birds Fly (200/1), The Niffler (200/1), Ceanndana (200/1), My Little Lily (300/1), Albedan (300/1), Themunsterexpress (300/1)

CARRAREA was disappointing at Galway in July but is well worth another chance given his bumper form. Gordon Elliott saddles a couple in Noble Birth and The Waltzer and they could offer most resistance.
