Galypso Clermont (7/2), Courting Vickie (4/1), Mrs Watson (4/1), Minella Away (5/1), Thebellsofshandon (5/1), Emancipator (9/1), Tangental (10/1), Da Big Fella (12/1), Galaxy Girl (14/1), Springfield Lodge (20/1), Mcgill (20/1), Rippon Lodge (25/1), Royal Finesse (50/1), Ballyeden Lass (50/1), Princesse Cleni (50/1), Kingston Kid (80/1), Boola Belle (80/1)

GALYPSO CLERMONT will be suited by this return to 3m after a good run at Fairyhouse and can open his account. Mrs Watson and Thebellsofshandon are a couple of the potential dangers.
