Saint Brandon (4/1), Fivefortwo (5/1), Red Scarlet (11/2), Gangsta Man (13/2), Berto Ramirez (13/2), Invincibletomorrow (7/1), State Of Joy (8/1), Ben Hur (12/1), Smoke Them Out (12/1), Temps Leve (12/1), Copacabana Sands (14/1), Amazing Maisie (25/1), Light Conductor (33/1), Ranting And Raven (33/1), Siyaan (40/1), Esque Elegance (100/1), Corazon Blanco (200/1)

RED SCARLET improved on her debut form and left the impression she can do better still when third in a Leopardstown maiden 2 weeks ago. She shades the vote, with Berto Ramirez, who finished one place ahead of the selection on that occasion rating the chief threat. Invincibletomorrow and Gangsta Man complete the shortlist.
