Fiveonefive (11/4), Pidoyne (4/1), Toor Moment (5/1), Crafty Gael (5/1), Alphonse Le Grande (5/1), Benjis Benefit (11/2), Breezy Bell (6/1), Jack Holiday (7/1), Park Of Kings (8/1), Diamond Union (10/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (16/1), Castlehill Boy (16/1), Mac's Xpress (16/1), Inchiquin Star (18/1), Future Proof (28/1), Dgalwaygallivantor (40/1), Custers Mistake (50/1), The Cooleen (66/1)

TOOR MOMENT took a step back in the right direction at Thurles last time and is on a handy mark if building on that. Pidoyne arrives on the back of a career-best win at Tramore so is next best ahead of Alphonse Le Grande. who very much caught the eye on handicap bow at Thurles.
