Amortentia (6/4), Alaroos (4/1), Golden Twilight (11/2), Fascinating Shadow (11/2), Ceallach (8/1), Turf Range (20/1), Dalvey (22/1), Sheishybrid (25/1), Akmaam (28/1), Cask Mate (33/1), Mercury Mission (40/1), La Hacienda (50/1), Whatharm (50/1), Dare To Flare (66/1), Construct (66/1)

FASCINATING SHADOW won after an absence here in the spring so his 5-month break since his Leopardstown fourth in early-June isn't too big a concern and he can provide Billy Lee with a vital winner in his bid to be Champion Jockey. Amortentia was an eyecatcher here last time and rates an obvious big threat. The other jockeys' title challenger Colin Keane could also have a say in proceedings on Sheishybrid.
