Hello Sweetie (5/2), Ashjan (4/1), Kilkeaskins First (9/2), Alterno (7/1), Rapid Fritz (7/1), Antimatter (14/1), Chance It (16/1), Spot The Pro (16/1), Swordfight (16/1), Island Eddie (16/1), Oskar High (20/1), Balofilo (25/1), Patricks Boy (25/1), Bawntameena (33/1), Moonlightinmayo (50/1), The Dack's Man (66/1)

It may be left to Alterno to make the running here, though Davy Russell may have other ideas. Rapid Fizz, Moonlightinmayo and The Dacks Man may follow in behind. Hello Sweetie, fifth of 24 on return to hurdling last day at Cork in 2m handicap hurdle, Ashjan, won a Downpatrick, extended 2m1f handicap hurdle last month and Kilkeaskins First, best effort latest when third to the improved Station Closed here in May, can fight for the places, but preference is for SWORDFIGHT, may have needed last run and drop in trip sure to suit.
