An Droichead Gorm (6/5), Alpha Male (9/2), Jigginstown King (6/1), Jezarus (15/2), Imitation Game (17/2), Whisper In Court (11/1), Knockanora Lady (22/1), Speaker Thomas (25/1), Big Cheyz (33/1), Any Time (40/1), Boston Spray (66/1)

AN DROICHEAD GORM arrives on the back of a recent point win and looks the one to beat. Alpha Male ought to be sharper for a comeback run at Down Royal last month and is a possible threat. Jigginstown King was pulled up in his sole point but Shark Hanlon won this last year and Rob James does the steering so he's definitely one to keep a close eye on in the betting.
