Throatlash (6/4), The Bluesman (7/4), Cerendipity (15/2), Anyharminasking (14/1), Pull Again Green (16/1), Taras Halls (18/1), Gentleman Bill (18/1), Nells Son (18/1), Twoshotsoftequila (25/1), Western Zephyr (33/1), Bythesametoken (40/1), Harsh (40/1)

THROATLASH was impressive when completing the hat-trick over C&D 4 weeks ago and could still be ahead of his mark after a 5 lb rise. The Bluesman is another progressive sort who remains of interest, while Irish veteran Bythesametoken defied an absence at Listowel in September so can clearly go well fresh.
