Hakensack (2/1), Duce Bigalow (4/1), Diamond Dollar (5/1), Lovely Reaction (8/1), Ernie From Nurney (9/1), Halsafari (10/1), Feast (10/1), Baltinglass Hill (14/1), Mastermind (33/1), Just For Yuse (50/1), Tullabrack Lad (100/1)

Verdict

LOVELY REACTION was shaping up well on her chasing bow at Fairyhouse when coming down three out and this fair winning hurdler can gain compenastion here off a handy-looking mark. Duce Bigalow is feared most on the back of a very good Naas second, although fencing newcomers Diamond Dollar and Hakensack are not without interest either. Baltinglass Hill completes the shortlist.

  1. LOVELY REACTION (IRE)
  2. DUCE BIGALOW (IRE)
  3. DIAMOND DOLLAR (IRE)
