Alfieri (6/5), Miss Us O (9/2), Appian Way (7/1), Dalileo (8/1), Brandy Harbour (9/1), Getaway Milani (14/1), A Dublin Job (14/1), Well Polly (18/1), Park Hind (18/1), Tullyhogue Fort (25/1), Aliym (25/1), Iluvyounow (33/1), Laughing Trix (33/1), Roscomroe (40/1), Minella Away (40/1), Coconoir (50/1), Grey Habit (50/1), Duffys Hodey (50/1), Getaclan (100/1)

ALFIERI could hardly have been more impressive when making his third start in handicaps a winning one over this sort of trip at Tipperary 4 days ago and, turned out under a penalty, he's fancied to follow up. That said, Miss Us O impressed when successful on her latest outing and is feared, along with Dalileo.
