Magical Zoe (1/4), Nucky Johnson (5/1), Telecon (6/1), Neptunes Staircase (6/1), Stariam (13/2), First Dare (25/1), Churchwarden (28/1), Nelson Muntz (40/1), Whispering Hopes (40/1), Hollies Choice (50/1)

It's hard to look beyond MAGICAL ZOE, a smart hurdler who didn't shape at all badly on debut in this sphere in a listed race at Cork. Nucky Johnson is taken to follow the selection home, with both Stariam and Neptunes Staircase likely to be on the premises, too.
