Small Town Hero (9/4), Close Enough (6/1), Corkbeg (7/1), Fill The Tank (15/2), Stumblin In (8/1), Comeonarchie (10/1), Ballinearla Girl (10/1), Eagle Terrace (14/1), No Fussing (16/1), Stretchemout (18/1), Glaoinn An Airgead (28/1), Cafe Del Mar (28/1), Bubba Yeats (33/1), Dorans Mill (100/1)
SMALL TOWN HERO made it 2-2 for this yard when getting the better of Close Enough over this C&D recently and a repeat is anticipated here, with that duo expected to again come to the fore and Small Town Hero, who may well have more to offer, taken to prove too strong for the mare once more. Corkbeg is third choice ahead of Comeonarchie.
