Theonewedreamof (7/4), Bolero (13/2), Wild Shot (15/2), Duke Otto (8/1), Too Bright (10/1), Carslake (10/1), Stellify (10/1), Yenillik (11/1), Mojazaffah (11/1), Loudest Whisper (12/1), Dollar Value (18/1), The Riastrad (25/1), Deep Sigh (40/1), Kanzino (40/1), Ferrum (50/1), Double Kodiac (50/1), Flaggy Lane (50/1)

THEONEWEDREAMOF caught the eye with a strong finish over hurdles at Thurles last time and, with cheekpieces back on, he makes most appeal. Dollar Value's mark looks potentially favourable as he returns to the Flat and Bolero should play a part if she's tuned up for her return.
