John The Diva (6/4), Cowper Hall (5/2), Hello Jack (5/1), Roxhill Roise (5/1), Toor Khov (7/1), Live To Laugh (9/1), Insouciant Dallier (14/1), Goody Four Shoes (33/1), Figurehead (50/1), Bajan Excell (150/1)

A few with chances but JOHN THE DIVA is proving a reliable sort and taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success in this sphere at the chief expense of Cowper Hall who was badly hampered when unseating 3 out on his recent chasing bow at Tramore and remains with plenty of potential. Hello Jack, Roxhill Roise and Live To Laugh all need factoring into this intriguing maiden chase too.
