Biddy The Boss (7/2), Victoria Bay (4/1), Our Rachael (11/2), Dorkas (8/1), Minnie Dahill (9/1), Cailean's Angel (9/1), Turanga Lilly (9/1), Flamingo's Court (10/1), Comehere Hi (12/1), Mega Mindy (14/1), Tin Town Liz (16/1), Make My Heart Fly (25/1), O'gradys Girl (50/1)

Minnie Dahill and Flamingo's Court usually like to get on with things from the front and the early clip of both runners could set the race up nicely for TURANGA LILLY who can build on her 8L win at Ballinrobe in April. Biddy The Boss, stepping up in trip and Wexford maiden hurdle winner Flamingo's Court can give the selection the most to think about while the Tony Martin-trained Our Rachael deserves some attention.
