MARK'S ONE gets the nod to build on a solid comeback run for his new yard at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago. Bamako will be a threat if back to the form he showed when narrowly denied over C&D at the end of May. last week's Limerick runner-up James The Second completes the shortlist.

  1. MARK'S ONE (IRE)
  2. BAMAKO (IRE)
