Lunar Landscape (7/2), Secret Rock (4/1), Faro Island (11/2), I'll Be Handy (13/2), Smaoineamh Sile (8/1), My Vonnie (17/2), Searcog (10/1), Thegooseiscooked (12/1), Galaxy Wonder (16/1), Churchill Gale (22/1), Highland King (22/1), Ghumama (28/1), Prom Queen (50/1), Pretty Soldier (50/1), Bella Mistiko (66/1), Milverton (80/1), Diamond Cross (80/1)

A deserved first career win beckons for LUNAR LANDSCAPE, who has performed with credit all three starts for this yard and latest second at Navan was arguably his best effort yet. Faro Island took a step forward when third upped to 10.7f on his handicap debut and he is feared most ahead of Secret Rock.
