Dream Legend (9/2), Cause I Like You (5/1), Borora Aura (11/2), Due In June (11/2), Fontaine Khaled (6/1), Wicklow Gap (13/2), Beau Army (10/1), Bullet Bourbon (16/1), Wedding Year (18/1), Stonyfalls (25/1), Enthusiastically (33/1), Threebiggulps (40/1), Caoilte (40/1), Nosmokewithoutfire (50/1), Hugo Spritz (50/1)

Cases can be made for several and at the likely prices it could be worth taking a chance on CAUSE I LIKE YOU, who shaped as if back in form in refitted cheekpieces when fifth at Ballinrobe recently and this return to 1m should be a big help. Dream Legend upped his game in the spring, and he looks a significant threat having been freshened up since, with Fontaine Khaled and Due In June rounding off the shortlist.
