Ankud (4/5), Jerisk Star (5/1), Kilbarry Coreli (7/1), D Art D Art (8/1), Smokey Putnum (9/1), Arc Eyes (14/1), Swift Advance (16/1), Tramps Like Us (18/1), Final Decision (28/1)
Not much form to go on here so the market could prove revealing. ANKUD shaped well when runner-up on his debut at Naas and can go one better now with improvement on the cards. Stablemate Smokey Putnum can emerge as the biggest threat ahead of fellow newcomer Swift Advance.
