Midnight Run (6/4), Thousand Tears (3/1), San Salvador (10/3), Born By The Sea (7/1), Thermoscope (15/2), Emeric (40/1), Vintage Writer (80/1)

MIDNIGHT RUN is quite smart over jumps so could be to making a winning Flat debut here. Thousand Tears rates the main danger after making a promising start to his own Flat career when second at Roscommon 3 weeks ago. Thermoscope has the potential to build on his opening Dundalk fourth in January and is also on the shortlist.
