Glengouly (6/5), Mahler Mission (3/1), Split The Bucket (4/1), Gino Drummer Boy (6/1), Crosshouse Boy (8/1), Coconut Tudor (10/1), Crossgales Ophelia (10/1), Castlehill Boy (18/1), Battle Bound (22/1), Bells Life (50/1), Another Ocana (66/1), Tomjackwilliam (66/1), Ernie Mccracken (80/1), Clancy's Spirit (80/1)

Another chance is given to GLENGOULY who let favourite backers down in a bumper on his reappearance but the form of his Ballinrobe second in the spring reads well and he can make a successful start over hurdles, perhaps at the main expense of Mahler Mission. Gino Drummer Boy also needs a betting check for the Gordon Elliott team.
