Tounsivator (7/2), Man O Work (7/2), Risk Belle (13/2), Helvic Dream (8/1), Frankendael (9/1), Anotherway (10/1), Mighty Tom (10/1), Dark Note (12/1), Lord Erskine (14/1), Icare Desbois (14/1), The Dasher Conway (16/1), Set Point (20/1), Four Clean Aces (22/1), Royal Eagle (22/1), Nibiru (33/1), Sherodan (40/1), Drumgill (50/1), Little Mixup (66/1)
Unexposed 5-y-os TOUNSIVATOR and Frankendael both make plenty of appeal. Preference is for the former, who went close in a Galway handicap on his penultimate start prior to coasting home in a Kilbeggan novice. Man O Work will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward, while Sherodan, who should be all the better for last month's reappearance spin on the Flat, is also accorded respect.
