Williamstowndancer (5/6), Pink In The Park (7/2), Votre Homme (6/1), Fad Eadrainn (17/2), Open To Question (12/1), Somptueux (16/1), Beauforts Storm (20/1), Benjis Benefit (40/1), Endless Pursuit (80/1), Un Des Flos (80/1), Clonshire River (100/1), Mister Fogpatches (125/1), Rio Doce (150/1), Patrick Joseph (200/1), Night Of Peace (200/1)

WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER won a 2m Grade 3 novice hurdle last autumn and might prove up to the task on her Flat debut. Her stablemate Pink In The Park is also pretty useful over timber and heads the dangers along with Votre Homme and Open To Question.
