Clonmacash (10/3), Pinar Del Rio (4/1), Velvet Skies (9/2), Salah Belle (11/2), Mullacash Buzz (8/1), Ohailbhic (9/1), Mehmar (11/1), Rockbury Lad (11/1), Tortola (12/1), Never Shout Never (14/1), Bella Colombia (28/1), Ukiyo (33/1), Royal Alliance (40/1), Rough Diamond (50/1), Toy Soldier (125/1)

A few with chances but CLONMACASH didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a recent fourth over C&D and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark here. Never Shout Never also wasn't seen to ideal effect on his latest run when sixth there and heads the list of dangers. Tortola, Velvet Skies and Salah Belle all need factoring in too.
