Staging Post (16/5), Be My Hero (9/2), Lakomet Of Saints (5/1), Flashthelights (6/1), Littel Flour (7/1), Bite That (8/1), Away To Milan (17/2), Beat Of The Sea (12/1), Cool Legacy (14/1), Breagagh (18/1), Anyway (20/1), Monoxide (25/1), Papa Barns (25/1), Lonracha (28/1), Thirsty Thursday (28/1), O Faolains Lass (28/1), Shining Aitch (40/1)

LITTEL FLOUR took a big step back in the right direction when third at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago and is given a chance to build on that for the Declan Queally team. The lightly-raced Away To Milan has made a decent start to his handicap career and is second choice ahead of Gordon Elliott's Be My Hero.
