Thecompanysergeant (10/3), Firm Footings (5/1), Gaoth Chuil (11/2), Jazzy Matty (17/2), Lord Erskine (10/1), Ballybawn Belter (11/1), West Is Awake (16/1), Common Practice (16/1), Summerville Boy (16/1), The Lovely Man (16/1), Amir Kabir (18/1), Espanito Bello (20/1), Rebel Gold (22/1), Must Meet Cecil (22/1), Kilbree Warrior (28/1), Chinx Of Light (33/1), Drop The Anchor (33/1), Cozone (66/1), Ballywilliam Boy (80/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. THECOMPANYSERGEANT starts out on a lenient mark for Shauna Larkin so is taken to build on his good Listowel fourth last time out and quickly resume winning ways. Lord Erskine is next on the list now reverted to this sphere on the back of a good Curragh third on the level. Gordon Elliott's trio Firm Footings, Chinx of Light and Jazzy Matty all need factoring in too in a highly competitive event.
