Tonaghneave Well (4/5), Grann's Boy (13/2), Dr Pep (9/1), Hasten Slowly (10/1), Pearl Of Grange (12/1), Rose Boum (14/1), Mrs Tk (14/1), Awakino (20/1), Rampere West (22/1), Miss Lia (25/1), Fantaske (40/1), Dee's Getaway (40/1), An Ge Liath (40/1), Gilded Moon (80/1), Strandhill Bay (125/1), Annalough (150/1)

TONAGHNEAVE WELL got better with each run in bumpers and opened his account at this course last time. He's bred to take to hurdling and is well worth a chance to make a successful start in this sphere. Mrs Tk showed promise on debut and is bound to improve, while Grann's Boy should be thereabouts.
