Countess Of Tyrone (11/4), Eziva (3/1), Ivana (9/2), Delicate Girl (11/2), Yamalia Star (11/2), Hey Whatever (13/2), Vadsa Queen (8/1), Susiesparkle (28/1), Cosmic Lady (33/1), Cold Cold Heart (66/1), Zahina (200/1)

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand courtesy of bumper winners IVANA and Vadsa Queen. The former was impressive in justifying favouritism at Limerick in May and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record now switched to the Flat. Yamalia Star improved on her debut form when runner-up at Killarney 18 days ago and has the pedigree to do better still.
