Jazzy Dancer (4/1), Carlton Banks (5/1), Hot Whispers (7/1), My Girl Sioux (7/1), Californiagoldrush (15/2), Samrogue (8/1), Linger For Longer (10/1), Gobi Star (11/1), Inishmot Prince (12/1), Maid To Shine (12/1), Coco Hill (14/1), Even Flow (14/1), Patsy Fagan (22/1), Born Invincible (28/1), Cholita (40/1), Cuala Bula (40/1), Contradanza (50/1), Cruzer (80/1)

JAZZY DANCER doesn't find winning easy but he's more reliable than most at this level and his third-place finish in a big-field contest at Naas a month ago is just about the most persuasvie piece of recent form. The money for Carlton Banks last time suggests he's considered to be well handicapped and he's a threat, along with Gobi Star, who got no luck at Fairyhouse.
