Buddy Batt (7/2), Lethimfly (7/2), Arctic Steps (6/1), Collective Power (13/2), Sporting Hero (7/1), Real Encounter (7/1), Sovereign Cry (9/1), Clonmacash (10/1), All The Girls (14/1), Jered Maddox (20/1), Cuban Grey (22/1), Harry's Hill (28/1), Billboa (28/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but LETHIMFLY can race off the same mark as when a promising C&D second on his return so edges the vote from recent Naas scorer Arctic Steps. Real Encounter, Buddy Batt and Harry's Hill also need factoring in.

  1. LETHIMFLY (IRE)
  2. ARCTIC STEPS (IRE)
  3. REAL ENCOUNTER (IRE)
