Emerald Harmony (9/2), Cuban Grey (9/2), Rathbranchurch (5/1), Moonhall Lass (6/1), Hero Of The Hour (7/1), Only Spoofing (8/1), Sturlasson (8/1), Devil's Angel (11/1), Distillate (25/1), The Poacher Daly (40/1), Tilly's Company (40/1)
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and HERO OF THE HOUR is taken to build on his recent Dundalk fifth and capitalise on a slipping mark. Rathbranchurch is also weighted to have a say and rates second best ahead of Cuban Grey and Distillate.
