Company Keeping (3/1), Run The Jewels (9/2), Golden Days (8/1), Tara Power (8/1), Angel's Trumpet (9/1), Alice Milligan (10/1), Rosie Rock (11/1), London Palladium (12/1), Facethepuckout (12/1), Dutch Schaefer (12/1), Born Invincible (14/1), Cactus Tree (14/1), Zanabad (18/1), Fine Distraction (20/1), Accessory (20/1), Pallasmore Lass (25/1), Scream (25/1), Above Us Only Sky (25/1), Stardayz (25/1), Dazzling Spirit (25/1), Urtheone (50/1)

COMPANY KEEPING was only denied by a progressive sort at Dundalk a couple of months ago and is likely to be more tuned up than the bulk of his rivals, so he gets the nod ahead of the lightly raced Run The Jewels, who has changed yards again since scoring at the same course last time. Alice Milligan is another one to consider.
