May Call You Back (10/11), Burru (10/3), Crowsatedappletart (7/1), Warm In Gorey (14/1), Early Arrival (14/1), Roman Parish (14/1), Beechroad Winnie (14/1), Must Be Dreaming (20/1), Tropical Image (20/1), Lucky Lioness (20/1), Midnight Moonshine (25/1), The Virginian (25/1), Aliunde (25/1), U Asking Me (33/1), Definiteadare (50/1), Western Comandor (50/1), Annie Questions (66/1), Miss Oreo (66/1), Haveuseentherain (80/1)

MAY CALL YOU BACK had more in hand than the result suggests when making it 3-4 since joining Willie Mullins at Tipperary on Tuesday and can make light of a 7 lb penalty if coping with the quick turnaround. Burru shaped well when second at Roscommon on his first outing for a new yard and is second choice ahead of Early Arrival and Crowsdaappletart, who was third to the selection at Tipperary earlier in the week.
