Collective Power (11/4), Inishmot Prince (7/2), Scarlet Dancer (5/1), Gobi Star (8/1), Tai Sing Yeh (17/2), Samrogue (10/1), Capuchinero (14/1), No Speed Limit (14/1), Chrismoltisanti (20/1), Hernes Hill (20/1), Aurora Nova (20/1), Little Queenie (22/1), Adams Barbour (25/1), Shabaaby (25/1), Pretty Smart (50/1), Irish Millions (50/1), Clase Azul Ultra (66/1)

COLLECTIVE POWER lost little caste in defeat when chasing home a well-treated rival over 5f here last week and, with the return to this trip no bad thing, he earns the vote. Inishmot Prince has to be respected on the back of his recent C&D success, while a line can be drawn though Samrogue's latest effort and she is also in with a shout.
