Almendares (5/2), Heartrate (5/2), So Majestic (4/1), Billboa (9/2), Un Bacio Ancora (6/1), Zero Fighter (15/2), Aurora Nova (20/1), Redshore City (33/1), Old Peculier (33/1), Twilight Steel (33/1), Millieblue (66/1), Ranko Express (66/1), Angel Of The Sea (100/1), Strath Dancer (100/1), Red Shield (150/1), Areuhavingacup (250/1), Rosie Booshay (250/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and ALMENDARES looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account on the back of his good recent C&D second. Zero Fighter is feared most if, as expected, building on his encouraging debut fourth here, with Cork runner-up Heartrate not ruled out despite having a lay-off to overcome.
