Wertpol (5/1), Gotta Catch'em All (11/2), Migdam (7/1), Rain (7/1), Keilah (15/2), Tilani (9/1), Loingseoir (9/1), Castleheath (10/1), Secret Rock (14/1), No More Porter (20/1), Ozark Daze (22/1), Brewel Hill (22/1), Sylkie (25/1), Alfalfa (25/1), Hemight (25/1), Victoria Kesia (25/1), Zuzukel (28/1), Vivacious Lady (33/1), Red Veil (33/1), Drucker (33/1), Among The Pines (33/1), Bucaneer's Spirit (40/1), Powerful Hook Head (40/1), Aingeal Dorcha (66/1), Timandi (80/1), Zentopia (100/1)

KEILAH posted good efforts under both codes last month and might prove the answer to this finale. Unexposed 3-y-o Wertpol, the class-dropping No More Porter and last week's Dundalk runner-up Cotta Catch'em All head the many dangers.,
