Finsceal Luas (11/4), Fleetingly (11/4), Ob La Di (7/2), Lope De Lilas (9/2), North Africa (12/1), Comic Book (16/1), Shavasi (20/1), Breathe Again (50/1), Vivacious Lady (125/1)

FLEETINGLY has a long way to go if she's to live up to her pedigree but she took a step forward from her debut when second in a Naas maiden 2 weeks ago and she could be worth siding with to take another step forward. Finsceal Luas will benefit from the return to calmer waters and is feared, with Ob La Di and Lope de Lilas other likely improvers.
