Abstract (18/5), Vischio (11/2), Scalor (11/2), Free Royal (11/2), Rock Breaker (17/2), Rips Dream (10/1), Lariat (10/1), Mayan Son (14/1), Hooklinesinker (14/1), Moving (18/1), Talsara (25/1), Trump Card (33/1), Boing (40/1)

VISCHIO had a good spell over hurdles in the autumn and might be worth siding with to take advantage of a reduced mark back on the Flat on her return to action. Rips Dream was a bit better than the result at Dundalk last time and is more than capable off this mark. Veteran mare Talsara was runner-up in a big field over C&D when last seen and also makes the shortlist.
