No Big Deal (7/2), Splendid Choice (9/2), Paul's Dream (5/1), Getaway Henry (7/1), Harry's Dream (8/1), Party Pack (9/1), Targa Flavio (10/1), Sayitfirst (12/1), Bob The Builder (14/1), The Border Boy (14/1), Leroy Leroy (16/1), Added Bonus (25/1), Fernhill Fling (25/1), Appian Way (33/1), Buttermere Ridge (50/1), Midnight Eagle (66/1), Didyouseethelight (80/1)

SPLENDID CHOICE went like the best horse at the weights but paid for a fast-forward move from the rear at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go back at Wexford. No Big Deal is interesting back over hurdles, as is Paul's Dream, who was left with an impossible task at Tramore given how things panned out.
