Pink Venom (11/10), Lars Soldier (7/2), Oristown Boy (9/2), Roeillaun (7/1), Equus Victor (10/1), La Tache (11/1), New Yorker (14/1), I Ready (22/1)

PINK VENOM has improved in leaps and bounds since switched to nurseries, winning at Fairyhouse and Cork, and is taken to complete the hat-trick despite a 10 lb rise. Equus Victor’s Gowran Park dead-heat form has worked out well, and he rates the main danger if bouncing back from a poor effort upped in grade last time. Lars Soldier won on handicap debut at Navan and is respected back in calmer waters.
