Allardyce (11/8), Poly Rock (5/2), Ronald Pump (9/2), Cluan Dara (9/1), Reach Up (10/1), Famous Day (16/1), Analytical Mindset (25/1), Jimmy Rabbitte (50/1), Pedro (100/1)

Hard to see past Allardyce making the running here in the early stages with POLY ROCK allowing the eager front runner to take charge. The selection was a lowly €22,000 as a three-year-old but should have what it takes to get his head in front in this company. Cluan Dara can compete with the early leader for the runner-up position.
