Bay Of Bengal (13/8), Dark Vega (5/2), Heather Bear (4/1), Pachmena (5/1), Giladah (13/2), Disco Boots (7/1), Corky (10/1), Miss Myers (14/1), Aurora Princess (20/1), Sally Golightly (22/1), Sasta (40/1)

BAY OF BENGAL did well to beat a subsequent winner at the Curragh last time and remains open to further improvement after just 3 career starts. Progressive 3-y-o Heather Bear rates a big threat as she bids for a 4-timer, while Pachmena should be on the premises again.
