Bonarc (9/2), Magnor Glory (11/2), Rock On Seamie (13/2), Ardla (7/1), Celestial Horizon (8/1), Glan (8/1), Sit Down Lucy (11/1), Clarens (11/1), Golf Marin (12/1), Hannon (16/1), Bread And Butter (16/1), Rich Belief (20/1), Sil Ver Klass (20/1), Eclair De Beaufeu (33/1), Mighty Tom (33/1), Wolf Prince (40/1), Blanketontheground (50/1), Goodbye Someday (66/1)

GLAN appeared to be going well until a race-ending mistake 3 out at Punchestown and is worth another chance to show she's a mare heading in the right direction. Celestial Horizon is another J P McManus runner with a progressive profile and she's feared most ahead of Clarens, who was thriving when last seen in the autumn.
