Amen Kate (1/3), Holly Brook (4/1), Rainbow Connection (11/1), Paudie's Wings (20/1), Udontneedtoknow (33/1), Golden Order (300/1)

The Listowel maiden in which AMEN KATE was an encouraging third on her hurdles debut at Listowel was a vastly superior race to this and, with the promise of better to come from the 5-y-o in this sphere, she should have little trouble collecting. Holly Brook failed to trouble the judge in a trio of bumpers last year, but she was a winner of her sole start between the flags and may well be seen in a better light now switched to hurdles. Rainbow Connection is best of the rest.
