Conna Cross (9/4), Padraic O Conaire (5/2), Sparky Stowaway (7/1), Fly Round The Bend (8/1), Hughies Bay (8/1), Mount Brandon (12/1), Grey Atlantic Way (14/1), Well Joey (14/1), Bomber Jackson (16/1), Germany John (16/1), Knock Na Rea (20/1), Mister Butler (25/1), Cloneen Lady (50/1), Jimmyjames (66/1)

The early pace of Mount Brandon and Mister Butler will possibly make this a truly run two mile affair with Cloneen Lady chasing behind the leaders. Hughies Bay, second of 18 beaten 2½L behind Mullinavat last time out and the consistent Padraic O Conaire can battle it out for the minor honours behind CONNA CROSS who is expected to return to form now back over hurdles.
