The Striker Dylan (5/2), Cornmarket (5/1), Due Course (13/2), Moonshine Girl (13/2), Likable Chancer (9/1), Sydney Cruiser (9/1), Feast (11/1), St Anthonys Corner (12/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (14/1), Aliunde (14/1), Futurum Regem (25/1), Walk In The Dark (33/1)

THE STRIKER DYLAN arrives on the back of an excellent chase debut second at Wexford 33 days ago, knuckling down well and just failing. The return to further will suit and he can deservedly open his account. Dual course hurdles winner Cornmarket, Sydney Cruiser and veteran Likable Chancer are others meriting consideration.
