Freeway Space (7/4), Classic Place (5/2), Une Lavandiere (7/1), Iconic Image (7/1), Ask Susan (10/1), Magic Of Light (10/1), Soul Kaliber (14/1), Right So Joe (33/1), Ballykeereen (40/1), City Saint John (66/1)

Freeway Space continues to improve and has twice gone close over timber now, he will surely break his duck at this game sooner rather than later but might play second fiddle again with ICONIC IMAGE a major threat. The stamina test of three-miles at Cork in January brought about a career-best from him and, with ample time to recover, this looks an ideal race for him to open his account. Une Lavandiere finished close behind Freeway Space last time out so demands respect while Magic Of Light is another for whom the longer trip should pay off. Classic Place made a fair debut over flights at Limerick and can build on that here while Soul Kaliber should have more to offer for his leading yard.
