Alfie's Choice (7/2), Waterloo Warrior (9/2), Fille Des Champs (13/2), Sartorial Elegance (13/2), Ceann Sibheal (15/2), Dandy Duke (8/1), For Carmel (8/1), Big Meadow (8/1), Sam Noir (14/1), Sahara Haze (16/1), Who You For (16/1), Falcons Fall (20/1), Tambura (25/1)

Most of these have questions to answer after absences and/or poor efforts last time. ALFIE'S CHOICE has no such issues having attracted support on his return when finding one too good. There is enough scope about him to overcome a rise in the weights and the yard have been going very well. Waterloo Warrior reserves his best for this track and has place claims. For Carmel is a likely big improver following his recent return and with this trip having produced his best efforts in Ireland.
