Sizing Mauritius (6/4), Showbusiness (2/1), Miranda Priestly (6/1), Rigmarole (12/1), Unbreakable Bond (12/1), King Kal (14/1), At War (16/1), Backing Band (25/1), Lights Are Green (33/1), Clear The Clouds (40/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (50/1), Eastern Tornado (66/1), Ballycastle Brat (66/1), Not So Proper (100/1), Mr Social (100/1), Royal Hideaway (125/1), Something Small (150/1)

SIZING MAURITIUS made a promising start over hurdles at Limerick and has improvement in the locker. He's preferred to Showbusiness, who sets the standard. More was expected of Unbreakable Bond on his bumper debut at the end of 2020 and he could do better over obstacles if all is well.
