Gordon Elliott's OCEAN VOYAGE was steadily improving last season over hurdles, culminating in a maiden success at Cork in March. She appeared to be mounting a challenge on reappearance at Limerick only to fall three out and, up in trip, can go well now having been given a chance to get over that mishap. Clonmel maiden winner Whatucallher has been given a chance by the handicapper while Like An Open Book is very consistent but doesn't win often enough. Ellie Mac along with Buttons And Bows complete the shortlist.
- Ocean Voyage
- Whatucallher
- Like An Open Book
