Custom Taylor (1/1), Dacman (11/8), Dixie Mafia (7/2), Rocco Boyo (9/2), Lovely Hurling (8/1), Take To The Air (12/1), Dairy Force (16/1), Chief O'Hara (16/1), Westandtogether (16/1), Rubies Or Gold (18/1), I Am Emperor (28/1), Faithful Follower (50/1), Hestheboycandoit (50/1), Glownado (50/1), Gambling Glory (100/1), Doyen Og (125/1)

DACMAN is related to the classy Sir Gerhard and is in top hands, so he's an obvious choice to make a successful start in a race where the bar isn't set very high. Custom Taylor is the best of those with experience and Lovely Hurling showed some encouragement over hurdles.
