O'Toole (7/4), Kingston Retreat (11/2), Womalko (6/1), Paddys Planet (6/1), Wild Hunt (8/1), Nathaniel's Dream (9/1), Justicialism (11/1), Cute Cherry (20/1), Fire Squadron (50/1), Sam Lorenzo (50/1)

This looks a warm little race. WOMALKO appeals as one to go on improving on the back of his Limerick win and can defy a rise but there are a few possible threats, headed by ready Clonmel scorer Wild Hunt and Stuart Crawford's unexposed top weight O'Toole.
