Stormy Jenn (3/1), Play It Again Zaam (4/1), Designer Cailin (13/2), Barnhill Rose (8/1), Tomahawk King (8/1), Tall Story (9/1), The Bog Bank (12/1), Captured (14/1), Kodiac Prince (16/1), Fleadhfest (16/1), Skontonovski (33/1), Easy Way (40/1), Hopkins (40/1), Monnow Valley (50/1), Hastily (66/1), Charli Sands (66/1)

TOMAHAWK KING has dropped in the weights and shaped well from too far back at Naas last time so, if the pace is strong, he should be bang there at the finish. Play It Again Zaam and Stormy Jenn both arrive on the back of solid performances and should be competitive once more.
