Westerner Lady (4/6), Keppols Queen (7/1), Daisy's Gift (8/1), Not For Burning (11/1), Colla Pier (11/1), Misty Lady (12/1), Black Franks Angel (20/1), Monbeg Rose (20/1), Blazing West (33/1)

Colla Pier travelled with real purpose at Doncaster last month before having to give second best and should put up another good show here but she is running into a model of consistency in WESTERNER LADY. She's answered just about every question asked of her recently and should have the scope to bag another prize here. Black Franks Angel made a promising start in this sphere at Wexford and, having been campaigned over hurdles recently, can hit the frame here. Not For Burning may struggle off her current mark but she'll likely be up on the front end and could hold off Misty Lady for place money. 1. Westerner Lady 2. Colla Pier 3. Black Franks Angel
