Only For Me (6/1), Alma Libre (7/1), Brewel Hill (8/1), Tudor City (8/1), Gracesolution (9/1), Morning Approach (10/1), Stormy Jenn (11/1), Group One Power (11/1), Rick Dalton (12/1), Imposing Supreme (12/1), Chicago Storm (14/1), Rampage (18/1), Barrys Rock (20/1), Longclaw (22/1), Universally (28/1), Halcyon Spirit (33/1), Big Kitten (40/1), River Derwent (50/1)

MORNING APPROACH is below her last winning mark and is worth siding with to build on a good run at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago. Stormy Jenn might have still needed the run last time and could be spot on now so she's second choice ahead of Natalia Lupini's Alma Libre, who wasn't seen to best effect at Leopardstown last time.
