Men Of Dreams (9/2), Wayne R Walker (11/2), Rock Dandy (7/1), Lucky Queen (15/2), Soilse (8/1), Tara Power (8/1), Leabaland (17/2), Mads Black Eights (12/1), Breezy Zoff (12/1), St Cianans Fire (14/1), Maura's Gift (18/1), The Lion Strikes (22/1), Mymacushla (25/1), Back O' The Net (25/1), David Garrick (25/1), Hello Power (33/1), Benkogambit (33/1)

LUCKY QUEEN responded well to cheekpieces and a tongue strap when runner-up at Tipperary 18 days ago and looks the way to go having been eased another 2 lb. Men of Dreams and Wayne R Walker are feared most.
