Cape Of Good Hope (8/11), Vocatus (3/1), Zander (4/1), Motashakel (7/1), Mohawk (11/1), Whitsunday Islands (12/1), An Aingeal Dubh (16/1), Copia Verborum (33/1), Rex Place (40/1), Deep House (80/1)

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE's relations are certainly eye-catching and there's every chance he can take a big step forward from a promising debut at Leopardstown last month. Zander and An Aingeal Dubh are two fascinating debutantes but Vocatus is taken as the main danger stepped up in trip.
