Sharp Object (2/1), Femme Magnifique (11/4), Long Gone (10/3), Slim Marvel (6/1), Disco Dancer (13/2), Bobbi Gin Tree (7/1), Tell Me This (20/1), Bishbashbosh (25/1), Cornamona Park (50/1), Fix It For Me (66/1), Mountrivers Lass (66/1), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (100/1), Legacy Juno (125/1), Wee Vee (150/1), Gabbys Doll House (200/1), Thecornerbar (200/1)

LONG GONE shaped encouragingly when third on her hurdling debut at Wexford in April and, with improvement on the cards, gets the nod to follow up her recent bumper success. Femme Magnifique and Disco Dancer rate the principal threats.
