I Will Follow (11/8), Fiddlers Bow (11/2), Wiiphania (7/1), Lockeen Girl (15/2), Ted (8/1), Royal Roslea (10/1), Shouband (12/1), Perfect Leader (14/1), High Nellie (14/1), Kilcaragh Boy (14/1), Redmond Hall (14/1), Erkindale Lady (20/1), Marshim (25/1), Midnight Surprise (25/1), Miracle Cure (33/1), Muroor (50/1), Wild Desire (50/1)

A modest contest that can go the way of I WILL FOLLOW, who responded well in a tongue-tie last time out and is very capable of holding his own against this lot if in the same frame of mind. Fiddlers Bow has a stiff test under topweight but has the right man aboard to be given every chance of coping, while Redmond Hall acted well over this C&D on his penultimate start and could be good value to make the frame if his last time out fall has left no mental scars.
