The Big Lense (1/1), Kolumbus (5/2), Yeats Mardy (5/1), Ozzie's Way (6/1), Tiantu (20/1), Longtide (33/1), Kristofferson (50/1), Sean Thyne (50/1), Five Gems (100/1)

Kolumbus hasn’t been denied chances to get off the mark and, while respected, is prone to finding less than anticipated when push comes to shove. YEATS MARDY on the other hand has posted a trio of decent efforts over timber this summer, including at Sligo last time, and might get her head in front here. Ozzie's Way continues to improve and is can get some place money.
