King Christoph (11/8), Dawnmore (11/8), Postponing Reality (5/1), Why Oh Why (12/1), Battle Ready (20/1), Dramatic Approach (20/1), Togetherwearefree (33/1), Lash La Rue (40/1), Spectrolyte (80/1), Ah Sure Look (125/1), Clash (125/1), Evan D Invincible (125/1), Melchizedek (250/1), Alone All Alone (250/1)
KING CHRISTOPH finished a promising second on debut at Listowel and may well go one better here. Group 1-entered Dawnmore probably did too much too soon when third in the same maiden and has to be feared, while Battle Ready is no back number on his Leopardstown form.
