Sherkin Island (8/13), Arctician (2/1), Champion Green (3/1), Kojin (7/2), Handel (7/2), Up The Tempo (18/1), Muckross (25/1), Chambery Prince (33/1), Fascinating Secret (33/1), Jimmy Mcgill (50/1), No Hassle (50/1), Chazzesmee (66/1), Carirose (66/1), Anthem (80/1), Hooklinesinker (125/1), Intend (150/1), Ahaziah (200/1), Petrol Head (200/1), Rock On Pedro (200/1), Mark Paul (200/1)

A number arrive with claims, including SHERKIN ISLAND who shaped with plenty of promise when third on debut in a Curragh maiden (10f) back in May. On that evidence, the drop in trip will hold no fears and, from a handy draw, she can be expected to go close. Handel, Arctician and Champion Green head up the dangers, whilst Kojin can't be ruled out either.
