Carrigans Grove (5/2), Beano Power (7/2), Lismacbryan Hill (7/2), My Girl Sioux (13/2), Whatswrongnow (15/2), American In Paris (12/1), Zaragoza (12/1), Raising The Flag (16/1), Pinmoney (22/1), Hastily (25/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (33/1), Lismacbryan (40/1), Dabirsim Flyer (50/1), Gimmieminnie (66/1)

CARRIGANS GROVE continued the excellent work when second at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago and with the winner successful again since, that looks very solid form for this grade. She looks the answer, though a case can be made for Beano Power, Zaragoza and Lismacbryan Hill.
