Finsceal Annie (11/4), Harry The Rogue (9/2), Clonmacash (8/1), Prince Of Eyeries (8/1), Nedita (8/1), Ferrybank (10/1), Punk Poet (10/1), Yaxchilan (12/1), Brains (14/1), Amanirenas (20/1), Cu Chulainn (22/1), Ina Mina (25/1), Rosato (25/1), I'm Spartacus (28/1), Zephron (40/1), Lucky Out (40/1), Play It Again Zaam (66/1)

FERRYBANK seems sure to step up markedly on his reappearance effort and given he's on his last winning mark, he's certainly weighted to go very close. Finsceal Annie, Yaxchilan and Harry The Rogue are in-form opponents.
