Strike Zone (1/1), Savile Row (11/4), Chicago Pope (10/3), Michael's Well (12/1), Shadow Run (20/1), Unidos (40/1)

Ger Lyons' STRIKE ZONE holds the edge on the form of his Cork second last time out so is taken to go one better and thwart Aidan O'Brien's Savile Row. Chicago Pope and Shadow Run can fight it out for minor honours.
