Nettuno Italia (15/8), American Jukebox (5/1), From The Ashes (5/1), Kir (11/2), Sean Mc (11/2), Roc My Haarth (9/1), West Of Bally (12/1), Gorvitho (14/1), Drop A Threat (16/1), Live To Laugh (28/1), Chase The Moon (33/1)

KIR looked to have the race in safe keeping at Limerick until scuppered by a final-flight blunder and can make amends for that unfortunate third there off just a 2 lb higher mark. Nettuno Italia scored impressively here recently and heads the list of dangers, although the still-unexposed Sean Mc also rates a big threat. Fairyhouse victor From The Ashes and handicap debutant Gorvitho both need factoring into this highly competitive event too.
