Rising Dust (4/5), Slim Marvel (5/1), Georginas Jet (7/1), Glaoinn An Airgead (12/1), Tedworth (12/1), Quarry Tiepy (14/1), Bubba Yeats (14/1), Blossom De Mai (16/1), Flidais (16/1), Appian Way (20/1), The Little Yank (22/1), Kalnoo (25/1), Gather Yourself (33/1), Akmaam (33/1), Lady Nightingale (40/1), Krishna Bellevue (40/1), Captain P (66/1), Whatyouwant (80/1), Ally Cay (125/1)

RISING DUST is dangerously well handicapped starting out for Emmet Mullins and gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Quarry Tiepy rates an obvious possible threat now handicapping for a top stable. Blossom de Mai shaped well from too far back at Wexford last month and may prove best of the remainder.
