Ancient Astronaut (7/4), Fairway To Heaven (5/1), Pillar (5/1), Beau Rocko (11/2), Athassel (6/1), Monsieur Mel (13/2), Amberine (10/1), Strictly Carter (11/1), Asheena (12/1), Kyllukey (14/1), John Joiner (22/1), Compton Prince (50/1), Alqalsar (50/1)

Ancient Astronaut looks the best of three Irish challengers and can hit the frame, but this may be fought out by MONSIEUR MEL and Asheena, who both give the impression they have more to offer and are proven on this surface. Athassel may be ready to return to last year's form and is one to note in the betting.
