Roseriver Has (5/4), Icario (3/1), Vladakar (7/2), Plouios (6/1), Chess Grand Master (9/1), Templemore Dream (16/1), Elusive Exclusive (20/1), Giveittomestraight (20/1), Eamon High (25/1), Take The Floor (25/1), Juniors Angel (33/1), Flag On The Play (40/1), Dundeedy Lad (66/1), Melly And Me (100/1), The Broom Squire (100/1), Saddle The Lion (100/1), Quay Witness (100/1)
Some promising types make this an interesting opener. Icario and Vladakar have claims for their leading owner, while Take The Floor has a nice pedigree and is worth a market check on debut. The selection, though, is ROSERIVER HAS, who made a pleasing start over hurdles behind the brilliant, but sadly-departed Fayonagh and has the services of a top-class jockey. Eamon High and Templemore Dream are others to consider.
