Well Dressed (2/1), Ragmans Corner (10/3), Mercury Mission (11/2), Doctor Churchill (15/2), Fairyland Opera (9/1), Duke Of Leggagh (11/1), Miss Gherkin (11/1), Your Honor (12/1), Master Otis (20/1), The Truant (28/1), Bynx (40/1), Ballycallan King (66/1)

The vote goes to WELL DRESSED, who opened her account in good style in a Fairyhouse handicap a fortnight ago and while this 12 lb higher mark won't be easy to overcome, she is nevertheless expected to rise to the challenge. Fairyland Opera is a likely improver now pitched into a handicap and she is second choice ahead of Ragmans Corner.
