Coulstar (11/4), The Poacher Daly (16/5), Smart Impression (10/3), Mary Shoelaces (7/2), Bruce Lightning (7/1), Cool Dan (7/1), Hispanolita (16/1), Sophia Klimt (66/1)

THE POACHER DALY took his form up a level on his handicap bow when runner-up over C&D and looks weighted to go one better despite taking a 3 lb rise for that fine effort. Bruce Lightning came home a couple of places behind Joseph O'Brien's colt that day and rates the main danger ahead of in-form pair Mary Shoelaces and Coulstar.
