Arctic Fly (16/5), Sea Music (10/3), The Dasher Conway (11/2), Aspurofthemoment (7/1), Drumgill (15/2), Neveradullmoment (8/1), Aeros Luck (9/1), Visionarian (10/1), Listentillitellyea (11/1), Jasko Des Dames (12/1), Nas Na Riogh (14/1), The Banger Doyle (14/1), Cloughroe (33/1), Good As Hell (40/1)

This could go the way of ARCTIC FLY who got back on the up after an absence when scoring at Tipperary and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights. Sea Music heads the list of dangers on the back of a good recent fifth here with Aspurofthemoment also firmly in the picture now going handicapping. Neveradullmoment, Drumgill and Aeros Luck all need factoring in too.
