Sequoiaspirit (5/2), Ernie From Nurney (7/2), Peace Party (9/2), Go Gill Go (7/1), Tullypole Annie (15/2), Let Her Flow (10/1), Brehon Star (12/1), Run Like Fada (14/1), Time To Bite (16/1), Boston Brahmin (18/1), Getaway Milani (18/1), Invivo (20/1), Champagne Auction (20/1), Echo Gate (28/1), Made In Pimlico (33/1), Bidentime (40/1), Mustafa (40/1), Joyful Noise (66/1)

SEQUOIASPIRIT ran a cracker when backed at Limerick and has great claims here if he's in the same sort of form. Peace Party merits consideration, while Gavin Cromwell has 3 interesting runners, all unexposed, with Echo Gate particularly appealing.
