Fun Fun Fun (1/2), Trust Me Nate (9/2), Western Flyer (6/1), C'est Rien (13/2), Kay's Memory (16/1), Tomas O Maille (18/1), Workforadime (22/1), Myfiabellaevard (25/1), Pickanumber (28/1), Wee Monarch (28/1), Twelve Tribes (33/1), Gambling Glory (40/1), Tea It Is (50/1), Rusty River (66/1), Mister Vic (100/1), Light That Fire (100/1), Yolande Court (125/1)

Plenty of these look longer-term projects but FUN FUN FUN makes plenty of appeal on paper representing a top stable and she could well be worth siding with to make a winning debut. Trust Me Nate showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Naas in February and he's feared, along with Western Flyer.
