Volez Vous (3/1), Onebrightbluerose (7/2), Fire Coral (4/1), Navy Waves (9/2), Queenofthelodge (5/1), Sydney Cruiser (15/2), Kalanisi Dubh (8/1), You Make Me Smile (10/1), Hero In The Sky (16/1), Finnicky Filly (20/1), Love Bite (20/1), Pepperpots (25/1), Diamond Approach (28/1), Chapter Thirty (100/1)

Lots with chances but the vote goes to VOLEZ VOUS who is on an upward curve and can defy a career-high mark to complete a Clonmel hat-trick. Onebrightbluerose is feared most on the back of a good Tramore second over fences, with Sydney Cruiser, Kalanisi Dubh and Queenofthelodge also in the picture.
