Elusive Duke (3/1), Nibras Rainbow (10/3), Miss Crinshawn (7/2), Bucaneer's Spirit (8/1), Lady Arwen (10/1), Loingseoir (10/1), Metamorphic (14/1), Dancing Steve (18/1), Real Petite (20/1), Brewel Hill (20/1), Cuckaloo Hill (20/1), Signor Ferrari (33/1), Lady Chartwell (40/1)

A few with chances but ELUSIVE DUKE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Killarney last time and is fancied to bounce back in style here and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Recent Leopardstown scorer Nibras Rainbow rates a big threat though, while Miss Crinshawn, Bucaneer's Spirit and Loingseoir all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
