Presence (1/1), Iseult Of Ireland (9/2), Tachos (9/2), Eddie G (11/2), Artful Approach (15/2), Cornahilt Soldier (8/1), Bladon (12/1), Apollo Prince (14/1), Alto Sax (14/1), Moutarde (16/1), Sinbad My Dad (20/1), Galician Girl (25/1), Sylkie (28/1), Si Senior (33/1), Pomeriggio (33/1), Rebelsontherun (40/1), Saith Seren (50/1), Bridge The Gap (50/1), Star Of Atlantis (50/1), Saxon Kingdom (66/1), The Crafty Girl (80/1)

ISEULT OF IRELAND has taken steps forward with each of her three starts and, with improvement on the cards now pitched into a handicap in first-time cheekpieces. she could be the way to go. Presence opened her account in good style at Ballinrobe and she is likely to be on the premises, a remark which also applies to fellow last-time-out winner Tachos.
