No Say Ever (15/8), Morph Speed (7/2), Hook Head (5/1), Ebony Maw (11/2), Lady Dahlia (13/2), Blue Shadow (7/1), Hamley (14/1), Twentybore (80/1), Getback In Paris (80/1), Mokhles (100/1)

Moving up in trip here promises to suit MORPH SPEED, who did well to finish as close as he did when third over 10.2f at Cork given that he was drawn wide and, moreover, the fact that he was very slow off the blocks. Ebony Maw is next on the list following his Limerick near miss, for which he has been nudged up just 1 lb. No Say Ever, a winner here last time, and Blue Shadow are others to consider.
