Mercurial Sea (11/4), John Dixen (3/1), Pahlavi (11/2), Might Be The One (6/1), Doyen Og (6/1), Tropical Twist (11/1), Paymelater (16/1), Whispering Hopes (18/1), Two Can Plan (28/1), Glendaars Crystal (33/1), Lucky This Time (40/1), Greenroad Girl (50/1), Nelliestar (80/1)

MIGHT BE THE ONE has been knocking on the door of late and is worth chancing in first-time tongue tie. Tropical Twist is best judged on her Wexford win last month and rates the main danger, while John Dixen took a step forward last time and is also respected.
